Abstract:The treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) is multimodal, and chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is a critical component. However, the availability of predictive or prognostic markers in patients with HNSCC is limited. Inflammation is a well-documented factor in cancer, and several parameters have been studied, with the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) being the most promising. The NLR is the most extensively researched clinical biomarker in various solid tumors, including HNSCC. In our study, w… Show more
