Preoperative Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) as a prognostic inflammation biomarker in Asian HIV-infected patients with gastric cancer: a single-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The serum systemic inflammation biomarkers have been established as predictors of prognosis in gastric cancer (GC) patients, but their prognostic value in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with GC has not been well studied. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of preoperative systemic inflammation biomarkers in Asian HIV-infected patients with GC.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 41 HIV-infected GC patients who underwent surgery between January 2015 and December 2021 at the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center. Preoperative systemic inflammation biomarkers were measured and patients were divided into two groups based on the optimal cut-off value. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were measu
