We aimed to approach the prognostic value of preoperative systemic inflammatory markers in patients with PNETs.survival curve showed that the progression-free survival rate was lower in the high NLR group (P =0.004), the low LMR group (P <0.001), and the high PLR group (P =0.018). The results of multivariate Cox proportional hazards model suggested that preoperative LMR (HR =3.128, 95% CI: 1.107~8.836, P =0.031) was an independent predictor of PFS.The markers of systemic inflammation, especially LMR, can predict the postoperative progress of PNETs.
