Inflammatory markers in the prognosis of gastric cancer.

We aimed to investigate whether these parameters can determine the prognosis of gastric cancer. In our study, patients who applied to Trakya University School of Medicine, Department of General Surgery for surgical treatment with a diagnosis of gastric cancer between January 2015 and March 2021 were evaluated, retrospectively. In this study, we have 219 consecutive gastric cancer patients who applied for surgical treatment between January 2015 and March 2021. There are 156 (71.2%) male patients and 63 (28.7%) female patients. The mean age is 65.6±11.2. 158 (72%) of our patients were over the age of 60. When each TNM stage was compared with each other, a statistically significant difference was found in the NLR, PLR, PNI, SIRI, and SII parameters. There was a statistically significant difference between the GPS when we compare the early stage and the advanced stage cancer. In our study, we showed that high SIRI, SII, NLR, PLR, and GPS as inflammatory and nutritional markers and low PNI value may be negative predictive factors for prognosis in gastric cancer patients.
