Abstract:BackgroundProstate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignant tumors in men, and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) is commonly used to treat localized and advanced PCa. Positive surgical margin (PSM) is one of the most frequent problems faced by surgeons.AimsThis study aimed to explore the value of the neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) in predicting PSM after LRP.Methods and ResultsThree hundred and twenty patients… Show more
