Prognostic Value of CD4/CD8 Ratio in Patients with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Prognostic Value of Pretreatment Peripheral Circulating Lymphocyte CD4/CD8 Ratio in Patients with Non-metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: a Multi-center Prospective Observational Study

In our previous retrospective study, we identified circulating immune cell counts and the CD4/CD8 ratio as significant prognostic markers in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Building on these findings, this study aims to conduct a multi-center prospective observational study to evaluate the prognostic value of the circulating lymphocyte CD4/CD8 ratio in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients prior to treatment.
