Text: A high neutrophil count (> 7. 5 x 10 (9) / L) was an independent prognostic factor for short overall survival (hazard ratio [HR], 1. 5 ; 95 % CI, 1. 1 to 2. 1 ; P = 0. 02), and a high leukocyte count (> 10 x 10 (9) / L) was an independent prognostic factor of both short overall survival (HR, 1. 7 ; 95 % CI, 1. 3 to 2. 4 ; P = 0. 0005) and short progression-free survival (HR, 1. 5 ; 95 % CI, 1. 1 to 2. 1 ; P = 0. 008).
