Can the prognosis of mantle cell lymphoma be predicted by simple CBC counts?

Abstract: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) exhibits a heterogenous clinical course. The MCL International Prognostic Index (MIPI) is the most commonly used risk classification system in MCL. However, it does not contain a parameter associated with the tumor microenvironment. The aim of this study was to develop a more powerful prognostic index by evaluating the absolute monocyte count (AMC), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) at diagnosis in conjunction with the clinical and laboratory para… Show more

“…Neutrophils exhibit anti-tumor activity, but also suppress the cytolytic activity of immune cells such as lymphocytes. 32 They secrete multiple cytokines such as: interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF α), which are well known promotors of tumorigenesis. This may be one of the reasons why upwards of 15% malignancies worldwide are initiated by infections.…”
