Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) have demonstrated good prognostic value in several cancers but their role in gallbladder cancer (GBC) remains unclear. The aim of this study is to systematically review the current literature to determine their role in predicting survival outcomes in GBC.
