High NLR post RP. Is this indicative of recurrence or survival rate?

(Posting here since I was introduced to this group from the Advanced PCa group)

Hello,

This community has been extremely helpful in educating us about PC. And the information and guidance we got from here had helped us help our father (65yrs) decide to get RP done.

His surgery was successfully done on 7/15 and now he is in recovery phase. His post surgery reports indicated no spread to lymphs. Due to the conditions during his surgery, DJ Stents were required. It is now time for us to get those removed and the Dr. asked us to get CBC (Complete Blood Count) done. The NLR (Neutrophils to Lymphocytes Ratio) reading is 7.5 and the reference range is <3.3.

Is the high NLR ratio any indication of biochemical recurrence or survival rates?

Thanks for your input.

As I said there, it is not prognostic. Only PSA is prognostic for recurrence.

Not what you're looking for?
