Popis: To determine the predictive role of the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the prognosis and survival of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis.A retrospective cohort study of 96 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis (SCCP). Clinical and histological data, bloodwork and disease evolution information were collected. We determined neutrophil/lymphocyte ratios and analyzed their relationship to prognosis and survival.The mean age of patients was 72,1 years. The average follow-up time for the sample was 3,8 years (CI 95%: 3,0-4,6). Compared to patients with NLR3, those with NLR3 presented a higher proportion of cancers in stages cN1 (29.7% vs 6.8%;The utilization of NLR in clinical practice can be considered an additional tool to aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis.
