Skeletal metastases are a common problem in breast cancer patients. Identifying new prognostic factors can improve survival estimations and guide healthcare professionals in therapeutic decision-making. Our study aimed to determine the prognostic value of inflammatory biomarkers such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) in patients with breast cancer skeletal metastases.
