Table 6 Areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the independent predictors and nomogram model in the modeling group.

	Areas under the ROC curve	95% CI
Pre/end pre-albumin	0.689	0.602–0.768
PLR during RT	0.645	0.556–0.727
NLR at the end of RT	0.678	0.591–0.757
Nomogram model	0.811	0.733–0.874
CI – confidence interval; PLR – platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio; RT – radiation therapy; NLR – neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio.
