The study aims to determine the prognostic utility of neutrophil/lymphocyte (N/L) and platelet/lymphocyte (P/L) ratios, as well as quantitative PET/CT parameters with [18F]FDG, for overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
