Response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is predictive for survival times in some patients with breast cancer (BC). The aim of this study is to explore the predictive value of some inflammatory markers including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR), monocyte-to-high density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in cases with BC treated with NAC.
