Abstract: At present,for cancer patients who are sensitive to radiotherapy and have no chance of surgery,concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the main treatment.Reasonable radiotherapy efficacy monitoring indicators can provide a reference value for the evaluation of prognosis for cancer patients.Platelet to lymphocyte ratio(PLR)is one of indicators for evaluating body′s inflammatory response.Compared with the lymphocyte and platelet counts alone,PLR can reflect the inflammatory state of patients more accurately and sensitively.The literature has reported the correlation between PLR and malignant tumor radiotherapy and chemotherapy,and has received more and more attention in the evaluation of patient prognosis.This article will review the research progress of PLR in the prognosis of malignant tumor radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Key words: PLR, Concurrent chemoradiotherapy, Prognosis
