The Prognostic Value of the Prechemotherapy Neutrophil - Lymphocyte Ratio in Gastric Cancer
Monika Magdy Youssef;
Abstract
astric cancer is the fifth most common cancer worldwide, with about one million newly diagnosed cases annually.
It causes one of the highest cancer burdens, as measured by disability-adjusted life years lost. It is the third-leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, after lung and liver malignancies.
It exhibits diverse prognoses according to various intrinsic characteristics. Therefore, the development of efficient treatment strategies for the various prognostic groups within GC is important.
It is increasingly recognised that variations within clinical outcomes in cancer patients are influenced by not only the oncological characteristics of the tumor, but also the host-response factors.
In our retrospective study, we focused on the prechemotherapy neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a marker of both tumor microenviroment and systemic inflammation.
The study included 61 patients; diagnosed with either Gastric or GEJ cancer and presented to Oncology Department, at Ain Shams University Hospital, from January 2013 till December 2016.
We collected all data about patients’
