Dynamic Changes in Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio are Associated with Survival and Liver Toxicity Following Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Baseline NLR and dNLR can complementarily predict OS in HCC patients treated with SBRT. Elevated dNLR is associated with worse OS and development of liver toxicity, possibly through their relationship with baseline liver function. Dynamic changes in NLR should be monitored in HCC care.
