Lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio and score are clinically feasible nutrition-inflammation markers of outcome in patients with gastric cancer

s: Systemic inflammation arising from complex host-tumour interactions is considered the seventh hallmark of cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical feasibility of our newly developed ‘lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein (CRP) ratio’ (LCR) and ‘lymphocyte CRP score’ (LCS) for predicting short- and long-term outcomes in patients with gastric cancer (GC).
