The predictive value of pretreatment hemoglobin-to-platelet ratio on osteoradionecrosis incidence rates of locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer patients managed with concurrent chemoradiotherapy

Abstract Background This retrospective study aimed to investigate whether the pretreatment hemoglobin-to-platelet ratio (HPR) could predict the risk of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy (C-CRT) for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC). Methods...
