“…Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which includes squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma, is a highly metastatic subset of lung cancer ( 2 - 4 ). At present, typical treatments for NSCLC include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy; however, despite advances in these techniques, the median survival period of patients with late-stage and metastatic NSCLC remains unsatisfactory ( 5 - 7 ). As such, developing novel effective treatments for NSCLC is of utmost importance.…”

“…Ardizzoni found that the addition of single agent taxane given concurrently to radiotherapy failed to significantly improve survival after platinum-based induction in locally advanced NSCLC. 36 In addition, a number of previous studies have discussed the role of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the prognostic assessment of NSCLC and have demonstrated that an increase in NLR over the course of radiotherapy had a negative impact on survival. 37 Some studies have shown that NLR is associated with inferior outcomes in localized NSCLC treated with SBRT.…”
