Core Tip

Core Tip: We assessed the prognostic value of gamma-glutamyl transferase-to-platelet ratio (GPR) and designed a prognostic nomogram for gallbladder carcinoma (GBC). We retrospectively evaluated a group of 130 patients with GBC who underwent resection with either a high or low level of GPR. We proposed that GPR is an independent predictor of GBC prognosis, and nomogram-integrated GPR is a promising predictive model for overall survival in GBC patients.
