Red blood cell distribution width (RDW), a parameter that used to differentiate the type of
anemia for several decades, recent studies suggest it was a prognostic factor in various …

Red cell distribution width (RDW) is an index which primarily reflects impaired erythropoiesis
and abnormal red blood cell survival. In last years the interest in this marker has …

Background: We sought to build prognostic nomograms and identify novel prognostic factors
in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) incorporating both clinical data and peripheral blood …

Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been recently demonstrated to be a predictor of
inflammation. High pretreatment RDW level is associated with poor survival outcomes in …

Background We propose a novel prognostic parameter for esophageal squamous cell
carcinoma (ESCC)—hemoglobin/red cell distribution width (HB/RDW) ratio. Its clinical …

Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a parameter reported in complete blood cell count
tests, and has been reported as an inflammatory biomarker. Multiple myeloma (MM) is …

Background Increasing attention is focused on the relationship of inflammation biomarkers
with malignant tumors. The purpose of the present study was to detect whether the …

Introduction The relative roles of surgery and stereotactic body radiation therapy in stage I
non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are evolving particularly for marginally operable …

Several parameters of preoperative complete blood count (CBC) and inflammation-
associated blood cell markers derived from them have been reported to correlate with …

Background Recent studies have borne out claims that inflammation has a vital role in the
development and progression of many diseases, including cancers. It has been reported …
