Prognostic Importance of the Preoperative Naples Prognostic Score for Patients With Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The naples prognostic score (NPS) is established according to nutritional or inflammatory state, and it is identified as the new prognostic score for a variety of malignant tumors. However, its significance in cases suffering from adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEJ) who receive surgery remains unclear so far.

Methods

In this study, patients receiving surgery without preoperative therapy were examined between June 2007 and August 2017 in a retrospective way. Typically, the serum albumin level, total cholesterol level, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, together with the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, was determined to calculate the NPS. The prognostic impact of NPS was evaluated using survival analyses. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curv
