Core Tip

Core Tip: According to our study, the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer (GC) was significantly influenced by the systemic immune-inflammation index, carcinoembryonic antigen, tumor node metastasis stage, and age. We created a novel nomogram to predict the prognosis of GC patients following curative gastrectomy based on blood markers and other characteristics. Both surgeons and patients can benefit significantly from this new scoring system.
