The preoperative neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio is not a marker of prostate cancer characteristics but is an independent predictor of biochemical recurrence in patients receiving r... by Zhi Cao, Jin Ji, Chao Zhang, Fubo Wang, Huan Xu, Yongwei Yu, Yinghao Sun

“…No significant differences in the NLR distributions among clinicopathological variables were observed (P > 0.05) when the original NLR data were utilized. When we dichotomized the NLR value into the high‐NLR group (NLR ≥ 2) and low‐NLR group (NLR < 2), we found that the patients in the high‐NLR group had more prostate capsule invasion (P = 0.047). …”
