  1. In total, 138 samples were analyzed. A neutrophil count less than 50 was defined as low neutrophil count while neutrophil number equal to or greater than 50 is considered as high neutrophil count. The statistics did not show significant association of neutrophil counts with patient ages, sex, tumor staging, lymph node or distal metastasis nor cancer types.
