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.
