TLC, NLR, and PLR were analyzed with overall survival (OS). Survival data were identified with the Kaplan–Meier method and optimal cutoff values with receiver operating characteristic curves.Results: The median OS for all patients was 18.37 months. Pretreatment and median baseline TLC was 2.47×103/μL (±0.78); NLR, 3.15 (±3.96); and PLR, 143.82 (±91.77); corresponding cutoffs were 2.4, 3.4, and 136.1. Higher TLC was associated with superior median OS (21.78 vs 15.66 months, P<0.001), and higher NLR and PLR with worse median OS (NLR: 14.13 vs 23.8 months, P<0.001; PLR: 15.49 vs 22.04 months, P<0.001).Conclusion: The lymphopenia indicators (TLC, NLR, and PLR) were significant prognostic indicators of survival in advanced NSCLC patients treated with chemoradiotherapy.
