The cutoff values of these indexes were determined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The prognostic value of the indexes was evaluated according to the rate of overall survival (OS), regional recurrence-free survival (RRFS), locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRRFS), and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS).Results: The survival analysis showed that NLR ≤ 2.695 (P = 0.017) and PLR ≤ 140.065 (P = 0.041) were associated with poor OS; however, the LMR and SIRI showed no significant statistical significance. NLR ≤ 2.045 (P = 0.018) and PLR ≤ 125.605 (P = 0.003) were associated with poor RRFS, LMR ≤ 2.535 (P = 0.027) and PLR ≤ 140.065 (P = 0.009) were associated with poor DMFS, NLR ≤ 2.125 (P = 0.018) and PLR ≤ 132.645 (P = 0.026) were associated with poor LRRFS, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that low LMR (≤ 2.535) was significantly inferior in OS (HR 23.085, 95% CI 3.425– 155.622, P = 0.001) and DMFS (HR 22.839, 95% CI 4.096– 127.343, P < 0.001). Moreover, low PLR (≤ 140.065) remained significantly related to worse OS (HR 11.908, 95% CI 1.295– 109.517, P = 0.029) and DMFS (HR 9.556, 95% CI 1.448– 63.088, P = 0.019).Conclusion: The index LMR and PLR can be used for predicting survival in NPC patients.Keywords: nasopharyngeal carcinoma, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, systemic inflammatory response index, systemic immune-inflammatory index
