    Aim: We intended to survey the prognostic utility of pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a novel prognostic index in recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (R-GBMs) treated with bevacizumab plus irinotecan (BEVIRI). Patients & methods: The present retrospective investigation incorporated the R-GBMs patients who underwent BEVIRI. The pre-BEVIRI NLR was calculated for each patient by utilizing the complete blood count tests obtained on the first day of BEVIRI. Results: The data of a total of 103 patients were analyzed. The ideal cut-off was identified at 3.04 (area under the curve: 60%; sensitivity: 60.3%; specificity 60%) for the pre-BEVIRI NLR. Low-NLR group had significantly longer overall survival times than the high-NLR group (15.8 vs 9.3 months; p = 0.015). Conclusion: NLR might be utilized as a novel biomarker in the prognostic stratification of the R-GBMs treated with BEVIRI.
