[3, 4] A variety of routinely available blood based markers of inflammation such as hypalbuminaemia, C-reactive protein level (CRP), blood cell counts and its ratios like the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), or the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have been investigated in different cancer entities as prognostic tools.
