Prognostic Role of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Solid Tumors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Puntos clave

• To evaluate the association between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and overall survival across various types of solid tumors.
• Systematic review and meta-analysis investigating the prognostic utility of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio for survival outcomes in solid tumors.
• High neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is associated with adverse overall survival across multiple solid tumor types.
• Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is identified as a cost-effective, readily available biomarker suitable for incorporation into clinical prognostic scoring models.
