Preoperative Platelet Distribution Width Represents a Novel Prognostic Biomarker in Patients With Nonmetastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Retrospective Clinical Analysis
Abstract:PurposeThe study aimed to explore the prognostic value of platelet distribution width (PDW) in patients with nonmetastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).MethodsWe retrospective analyzed 706 patents with nonmetastatic RCC from January 2015 to December 2017. Clinicopathologic data and platelet indices were collected and analyzed by univariable and multivariable cox proportional hazard model. Progression-free survival (PFS) was analyzed using the Kaplan–Meier curve. Net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integra… Show more
