Abstract

Objectives: To determine the prognostic treatment value of NLR and PLR indexes in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study on 42 squamous cell esophageal cancer patients. All patients were treated with chemoradiation therapy. The dose radiation was 41,4Gy pre- operation, 50,4Gy (post operation), chemotherapy with paclitaxel 50 mg/m2, and carboplatin AUC 2. Results: The cutoff values of NLR and PLR were 4.37; 240, alternatively. Patients whose NLR index was over 4.37 and PLR index was over 240 had poor prognosis (p < 0.0001). Conclusion: NLR and PLR index can be valued treatment prognostic indexes in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
