Associations between pretreatment composite inflammatory indices and pathological response to neoadjuvant therapy in breast cancer: a retrospective cohort study
Background Pretreatment inflammatory indices may reflect the host immune-inflammatory status in breast cancer. Evidence comparing multiple composite indices across pathological response endpoints after neoadjuvant therapy remains limited. This study evaluated the associations between pretreatment composite inflammatory indices and pathological response in breast cancer. Methods This retrospective study included 280 patients with breast cancer who underwent neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery. Baseline neutrophi …
