Preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio as a predictor of survival after reductive surgery plus percutaneous isolated hepatic perfusion for hepatocellular carcinoma: a retrospective analysis
PurposeWe assessed the predictive value of the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients who underwent a two-stage treatment combining reductive surgery and percutaneous isolated hepatic perfusion for multiple hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT).
