The hematologicalmarkers of inflammation in complete blood count (CBC) panel are potentially useful in determining the prognosis ofthe disease. Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate whether the pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) could be used as in predicting the stage of cervical cancer. Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study involving 282 patients with cervical cancer was enrolled at Sanglah GeneralHospital for five years (2013-2017). The histopathological records and complete blood counts (CBC) of the patients werecollected and analyzed using SPSS ver. 16 software. FIGO stage I–II and III-IV were classified as early and advancestage respectively. Results: The median NLR and PLR were significantly higher in the advance stage compared withearly stage (7.58 (1.36-33.20) and 247.89 (97.10-707.11); p-value = 0.001). A strong positive correlation was foundbetween the staging of cervical cancer and NLR (r=0.638) and PLR (r=0.668). The AUC, sensitivity, and specificityvalue of NLR and PLR were 0.803 (82%; 71%) and 0.716 (72%; 70%). Advanced stage of cervical cancer was foundin high NLR (adjusted OR: 9.02; 95%CI=2.42-33.64; p=0.001) and PLR (adjusted OR = 2.47; 95% CI = 1.45-4.85;p = 0.032). Conclusion: Increased pretreatment NLR and PLR values may provide a useful information in predictingthe staging of cervical cancer.
