dc.description.abstractBackground: Inflammation is a recognized concomitant of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its indices are prognostically useful. Aims: To evaluate two commonly used inflammatory indices, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), to examine their relationship to maximum tumor diameter (MTD) and to survival. Methods: A database of 1024 prospectively-accrued HCC patients was examined, who had full baseline tumor parameter data, including CT scan information on HCC size and whose survival was known. Analyses of NLR and PLR were correlated to MDT and to survival. NLR and PLR cutoffs were calculated from receiver operator characteristic curves. Results: Every MTD pair had significantly different PLR values, for MTD groups of groups <2/>= 2, <3/>= 3, <4/>= 4, <5/>= 5 cm. However there were few significant differences in NLR values. Logistic regression models of different MTD groups likewise showed significance for PLR. Patients with both low NLR and low PLR had the longest overall survival compared to all the other 3 combinations of NLR and PLR. In a Cox regression analysis, univariate models on NLR (<= 3.02/>3.02) and PLR (<= 6.82/>6.82) groups, showed significance for PLR, p = 0.034 and approaching significance for NLR, p = 0.057. Conclusions: MTD pairs down to <2/>= 2 cm showed significance for PLR, survival showed significance for PLR and almost for NLR.en_US
