The prognostic value of the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio for high-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma

Background and Aims The prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is highly variable, even for high-risk cases. The predictive and prognostic role of the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) has been reported in other cancers. The aim of our present study was to explore the value of LMR prognostic prediction in high-risk PTC patients.
