Combined Plasma Fibrinogen and Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio As a Predictive Factor in Patients with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Background: A growing number of epidemiological evidence supports that the coagulation cascade and tumor-associated inflammatory indicators are related to the recurrence and survival of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Plasma fibrinogen and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (F-NLR) is a novel hallmark that is proposed as an adverse prognosticator in a variety of malignancies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic impact of the F-NLR score in DLBCL.
