Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio as a Factor Predicting Radiotherapy Induced Oral Mucositis in Head Neck Cancer Patients Treated with Radiotherapy

Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio as a Factor Predicting Radiotherapy Induced Oral Mucositis in Head Neck Cancer Patients Treated with Radiotherapy

Background: The objective of this research conducted in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients was the assessment of the relationship between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the incidence of severe radiotherapy (RT) induced oral mucositis (OM), as well as overall survival (OS). Methods: The st...
