Immune-based prognostic factors, including the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR), may be associated with the immune response in cancer [1, 2]. Recent studies have reported a relationship between the NLR and outcomes in melanoma [3-6]. Similarly, we previously reported that a high NLR was associated with poor overall survival (OS) in melanoma patients treated with anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) therapy [7]. However, there [...]
