DNA methylation derived systemic inflammation indices are associated with head and neck cancer development and survival
5 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is often associated with chronic systemic inflammation (SI). In the present study, we assessed if DNA methylation-derived SI (mdSI) indices: Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte ratio (mdNLR) and Lymphocyte-to-Monocyte ratio (mdLMR) are associated with the presence of HNSCC and overall survival (OS). We used two peripheral blood DNA methylation datasets: an HNSCC case-control...
