Prognostic value of pretreatment peripheral blood biomarkers in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma treated with chemo/bioradiotherapy

PurposeHematological parameters obtained from a pretreatment peripheral blood lab test, as well as indices calculated from these parameters, are associated with the prognosis of the disease in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). The aim of this study is to determine which o...
