Investigation of association between clinically significant prostate cancer, obesity and platelet to-lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil -to-lymphocyte ratio

IntroductionSeveral blood markers of inflammation are elevated in prostate cancer (PCa) and have prognostic value. Little is known about the relationship between these markers, PCa, and other factors associated with chronic inflammation, such as smoking and obesity. We analyzed the interaction between neutrophil and platelet counts indexed to lymphocyte count (NLR and PLR, resp.) and clinically significant PCa (csPCa), accounting for the …
