Fig. 2From: Pre-treatment neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio predicts the chemoradiotherapy outcome and survival in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma: a retrospective studyRelationship between the circulating concentrations of IL-6 and the pre-treatment NLR and CRP in the 37 patients with OSCC. Scatter plots of the circulating IL-6 concentration and indicators of the systemic inflammatory response. a Relationship between the circulating concentrations of IL-6 and the pre-treatment NLR. The x-axis indicates the circulating IL-6 concentration and the y-axis shows the value of NLR. The correlation was investigated using Pearson’s correlation coefficient test. *, P < 0.05. b Relationship between the circulating concentrations of IL-6 and the pre-treatment CRP. The x-axis indicates the circulating IL-6 concentration and the y-axis shows the value of CRP.
