Abstrakt: Background: Breast cancer is one of the most lethal diseases affecting women globally. Its progression is influenced by various factors, including the immune system's ability to combat cancer cells. While hematological indices have been recognized as valuable biomarkers for monitoring patients with different types of neoplasms, there remains a considerable gap in research concerning their application in breast cancer.
Material and Methods: To address this, we conducted a systematic review of studies examining hematological indices as prognostic predictors in breast cancer patients.
Results: The majority of studies demonstrate a significant correlation between these indices and survival outcomes, underscoring their potential utility in patient monitoring.
Conclusions: Hematological-based indexes can be valuable tools for monitoring breast cancer, especially those ongoing poor prognosis scenarios.
