Abstract

BACKGROUND: Platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is widely used as an inflammation-related cancer biomarker. However, since its prognostic importance in resected high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) is still unknown, we investigated the association between PLR and the prognosis in resected HGSC in this study.
