(A) Kaplan–Meier estimates of the probability of survival according to prognostic groups as defined by MSKCC* factors. (B) Kaplan–Meier estimates of the probability of survival according to prognostic groups as defined by markers of systemic inflammation† and MSKCC*. MSKCC=Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre. *MSKCC factors are Karnofsky Performance Status Scale, haemoglobin, and corrected calcium. †Systemic inflammation markers are neutrophils, platelets, and neutrophils–lymphocytes ratio. (A) Good prognosis is represented by the solid line, intermediate prognosis by the dotted line, and poor prognosis by the solid-dashed line. (B) Good prognosis is represented by the solid line, good-intermediate prognosis by the dashed line, intermediate prognosis by the dotted line, and poor prognosis by the solid-dashed line.
