Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation of the serum neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and mean platelet volume (MPV), with the standardized uptake value (SUVmax), and metabolic tumor volume (MTV) in F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patient with esophageal squamous cell cancer at baseline.
