Pretreatment prognostic nutritional index as a prognostic marker in head and neck cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract The predictive value of the pretreatment prognostic nutritional index (PNI) for head and neck cancer (HNC) remains controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the predictive value of PNI in HNC patients. A systematic search through internet databases including PubMed, Embase, and...
