Pretreatment prognostic nutritional index and immune status for response to preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy in cervical squamous cell carcinoma: an exploratory retrospective study
Introduction Pretreatment nutritional and immune status may be associated with response to preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), but its clinical utility remains uncertain. Methods This exploratory retrospective study evaluated the association of pretreatment immunonutritional and tumor-related factors with short-term radiologic response to NACT. Ninety-two patients with histopathologically confirmed CSCC who received paclitaxel plus platinum-based NACT followed by …
