Takahashi R, et al. – A retrospectively review is carried out to explore the prognostic importance of a pretreatment thrombocytosis and its relationship with neutrophilia in patients with surgically treated endometrial cancer. Presence of thrombocytosis at the time of the initial diagnosis is an independent predictor of shorter survival in patients with advanced–stage (stages III–IV) endometrial cancer. Besides, pretreatment thrombocytosis and concurrent neutrophilia are an independent predictor of shorter survival regardless of clinical stage.
