There has been controversy regarding prognostic factors for surgically resected primary pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC). Recently, several studies have shown that neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was a prognostic factor for various types of cancers from multiple organs. Therefore, we performed this study to evaluate whether NLR is related to prognosis after complete surgical resection of primary PSC.
