Blood lipid profiles associated with metastatic sites in advanced gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study explored the correlation between peripheral blood lipid levels and clinicopathological parameters in patients with advanced gastric cancer (GC), focusing on changes in lipid levels during disease progression.

Methods

Pathological features and serum lipid profiles of 179 patients with stage III-IV gastric adenocarcinoma were analyzed. Lipid parameters examined included total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), apolipoprotein AI (Apo AI), apolipoprotein B (Apo B), lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), among others. The total cholesterol-lymphocyte score (TL score) and BMI were also calculated. The association between lipid para
