Comparison of the prognostic impact and combination of preoperative inflammation-based and/or nutritional markers in patients with stage II gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the prognostic value of preoperative established inflammation-based and/or nutritional markers, C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), Glasgow Prognostic Score, and prognostic index in patients with stage II gastric cancer. We then developed a new prognostic index based on the results of our investigation.

Methods

This study retrospectively reviewed 240 consecutive patients who underwent R0 resection for stage II gastric cancer. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed to assess discrimination ability and to determine optimal cut-off values. Prognostic factors predicting overal
