* There were too few patients with cell counts below the cutoff value for all ALC ≥ 500, and ALC ≥ 800 pre-treatment, and too few cases with cell counts below the cutoff for ANC/ALC ≥ 2 prior to cycle 2 and pre-surgery to perform a reliable statistical analysis. There are too few cases with LMR values above the cutoff for LMR ≥ 2.4 prior to cycle 2 and pre-surgery, and too few patients with PLR values below the cutoff for PLR ≥ 135 prior to cycle 2 and pre-surgery to perform a reliable statistical analysis. † The p-value is based on the log-rank test from the Kaplan-Meier method for estimating survival.
