The prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical cystectomy
(Elsevier, 2020-01)The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an attractive marker because it is derived from routine bloodwork. NLR has shown promise as a prognostic factor in muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) but its value in patients ... -
Failure to return to preinjury activity level after hamstring anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: factors involved and considerations in goal setting
