Methods for treating a cancer patient with a neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) greater than 3 are disclosed, comprising administering a nonsteroidal glucocorticoid receptor antagonist (GRA) to such a cancer patient, effective to reduce the patient's NLR. The methods include administering a nonsteroidal GRA and a cancer treatment to such a cancer patient, effective to reduce the patient's NLR and enhance the treatment of the cancer patient. The GRA may be orally administered. The nonsteroidal GRA may be a nonsteroidal compound comprising a heteroaryl ketone fused azadecalin structure (e.g., relacorilant) or an octahydro fused azadecalin structure (e.g., exicorilant). The cancer treatment may include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, administration of an anti-angiogenic agent, administration of a growth factor inhibitor, and surgery. The methods may enhance the cancer treatment, improve the prognosis of the cancer patient, improve the survival of the cancer patient, and provide beneficial clinical effects and advantages to the patient.
