Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio and transarterial chemoembolization in neuroendocrine tumor metastases

An elevated NLR pre-TACE and an NLR that has not returned to its pre-TACE value several months after TACE correlate with outcomes in patients with NET and liver metastases. This value can easily be calculated from laboratory results routinely obtained as part of preprocedural and postprocedural care, potential treatment strategies.
