Background Mean platelet volume (MPV), as a marker of platelet activity, has been shown to
be an efficient prognostic biomarker in several types of cancer. Using MPV, this study aimed …

Purpose Fibrinogen and platelets have been reported to play important roles in
tumorigenesis and cancer progression. The aim of this research was to investigate the …

Background Decreased mean platelet volume (MPV) predicts poor prognosis in some
cancers. However, its significance as a prognostic indicator in pancreatic cancer (PC) …

Background Platelet distribution width (PDW) and red cell distribution width (RDW) are
readily obtainable data, and are reportedly useful as prognostic indicators in some cancers …

Background Solid tumors are a common cause of secondary (reactive) thrombocytosis, a
paraneoplastic syndrome that is also a prognostic factor for various cancers. However, cutoff …

BACKGROUND: Esophageal cancer (EC) is the sixth most common cause of death from
cancer. Altered mean platelet volume (MPV) levels were found in patients with …

Background Mean platelet volume (MPV) is one of the four platelet parameters (platelet
count, MPV, platelet distribution width and plateletcrit), which indicates the activation of …

Background. The preoperative platelet‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (PLR) evaluates the prognosis of
gastric cancer patients. However, whether preoperative PLR may be used to evaluate the …

Background Mean platelet volume (MPV) to platelet count (PC) ratio (MPV/PC) is a useful
indicator in several cancers. However, the role for MPV/PC ratio in esophageal squamous …

Background Activated platelets promote tumor cell growth, aberrant angiogenesis, and
invasion. However, the value of platelet indices for predicting survival in gastric cancer …
