...Abstract |
Background: Oral cancer is a significant public
health concern which is more prevalent in South Central Asia, especially
in developing countries such as India. Recent studies have presented the
significance of systemic inflammatory response and its influence on the
outcome of various tumors. Platelet Lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is a
hematological marker of inflammation found to be associated with the
presence or prognosis of several types of cancer. There are only few
studies evaluating the diagnostic role of PLR in Oral squamous cell
Carcinoma (OSCC).
Key words: blood platelet count, hematology, lymphocyte count, oral cancer |
