Unadjusted comparison of immune inflammatory markers between patients with and without anal cancer

Markers	Cancer (n=37)	Non-cancer (n=297)	p value

Mean NLR (SD)	2.17 (1.6)	1.69 (1.3)	0.041
Mean PLR (SD)	137.13 (83.6)	114.53 (48.4)	0.021
Mean PNI (SD)	44.65 (8.0)	50.01 (5.9)	<0.001
Mean CD4/CD8 (SD)	0.35 (0.3)	0.80 (0.6)	<0.001

Significant results (p ≤ 0.05) are highlighted in bold. NLR, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio; PLR, platelet lymphocyte ratio; PNI, prognostic nutritional index; SD, standard deviation.
