Description
Haofeng Wang and co-authors test, in a 2026 retrospective study, whether three simple ratios from routine blood counts can warn of spread to the armpit lymph nodes in early breast cancer. The counts are taken before surgery. Node status is a key staging fact. Records covered 293 patients with small tumors treated between 2019 and 2024, with node status proven by pathology afterward.
Nodes were involved in about forty-one percent. Patients with spread showed higher platelet and inflammation index values and a lower monocyte ratio, and all three stayed independently linked after adjustments. Accuracy was only modest, so the authors frame the ratios as supportive clues for risk grouping rather than stand-alone tests. Their appeal is cost: every surgical patient already has the blood counts.
