Popis: Abstract This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of hematological biomarkers measured before and after treatment in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). This study reviewed 124 patients with HNC who received chemoradiotherapy. Hematological biomarkers assessed before and after treatment were investigated. The pretreatment C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (pre-CAR) and post-treatment prognostic nutritional index (post-PNI) showed the highest area under the curve with cutoff values of 0.0945 and 34.9, respectively. Patients in the high pre-CAR group showed significantly worse prognosis than those in the low pre-CAR group with respect to the progression-free survival (PFS) (3-year PFS: 44.8% vs. 76.8%, p
