| Core Tip |
The platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has been identified as a useful prognostic tool for various types of cancer; however, its prognostic value in gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) has never been investigated. We recruited 316 patients at our institute to determine the significance of the PLR in GBC. It was found to be significantly correlated with the serum level of CA125, tumor-node-metastasis stage, and tumor differentiation. Our results showed that a PLR ≥ 117.7 was independently associated with poor survival in GBC. We emphasize that this ratio could be used as a simple, inexpensive, and valuable tool for predicting the prognosis of GBC. |
