Table 8 Areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the independent predictors and nomogram model in the validation group.

	Areas under the ROC curve	95% CI
Pre/end pre-albumin	0.718	0.562–0.873
PLR during RT	0.698	0.484–0.913
NLR at the end of RT	0.738	0.562–0.913
Nomogram model	0.854	0.696–1.000
CI – confidence interval; PLR – platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio; RT – radiation therapy; NLR – neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio.
