Introduction. Inflammation is widely recognized to play an important role in cancer progression and is related to thrombosis.\nSoluble P-selectin (sP-selectin) is one of several biomarkers that may be predictive of thrombosis in cancer. This study aimed to\ninvestigate the correlation between monocyte count and sP-selectin in various stages of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods. Fiftyfive\npatients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were divided into three groups according to nodal and distant metastasis (group of\nstages I-IVA, IVB, and IVC). Monocyte count was calculated from routine peripheral blood examination, while sP-selectin level\nwas measured using commercial ELISA kit. Results.Themonocyte count of subjects in groups IVB and IVC was significantly higher\ncompared to group I-IVA (707/
