| Core Tip |
We retrospectively analyzed a relatively large cohort of patients and used propensity score matching to balance out biases related to patient selection. Our results suggest that preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a significant predictor of poor overall and disease-free survival. We further suggest that postoperative decrease in NLR is associated with poor survival, although only in patients with high preoperative NLR. Finally, we show that preoperative NLR ≥ 2.81 may be a good complementary indicator of poor overall survival when elevated alpha-fetoprotein levels provide no prognostic information. |
