Association between unintentional splenic radiation and lymphopenia and high neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio after radiotherapy in patients with esophageal cancer

BACKGROUND: Unintentional irradiation of the spleen may reduce absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), which can affect tumor immunity. Therefore, in the present study, we evaluated spleen dose-volume parameters associated with ALC and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with esophageal cancer. M...
