Popis: BackgroundInflammation has been recognized to be a factor that substantially influences tumorigenesis and tumor prognosis. Hence, this study was aimed to investigate an inflammatory marker with the most potent prognostic ability and to evaluate the survival estimation capability of dynamic change in this marker for patients suffered from oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).Methods469 patients’ inflammatory indicators including lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI), were calculated. Their predictive abilities for overall survival (OS) were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier curves to screen for the one with the most potent prognostic value. The predictive ability of dynamic changes in this marker was verified and a predictive nomogram incorporating inflammatory indicators was developed.ResultsA high LMR was identified to be an indicator of a satisfactory survival rate. Compared with that of other inflammatory markers, area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve (AUC) of LMR for 1-year and 3-year OS was significantly larger (P
