Simple Summary Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in peripheral blood samples has
been associated with prognosis in several cancers, including head and neck cancer, but in …

are being studied with the greatest interest and at an accelerating pace by the medical …

Importance Given the role of inflammation in cancer progression, neutrophil-lymphocyte
ratio (NLR) from peripheral blood has been suggested as a readout of systemic …

Purpose Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has become a standard of care in the treatment
of recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer (R/M HNSCC). However, only a …

The contour of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) is very important for tumor

Background Studies on the prognostic factors for patients with brain oligo-metastasis treated
with fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) usually focus on the size of metastatic …

The incidence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) has increased in the
