Abstract: Objective To investigate the prognostic values of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet count before and after chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods From October 2011 to December 2012,70 patients with advanced NSCLC in Anyang Cancer Hospital of Henan Province were collected.NLR and platelet were calculated from complete blood counts in laboratory test before and after 2 cycles of chemotherapy.The patients were divided into two groups according to the NLR and platelet count:low NLR group (≤3.43)and high NLR group (>3.43);normal group (100 ×109 /L
