Early myelostimulation in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer after fluorouracil plus platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy is related to poor prognosis

ConclusionThe"myelostimulation" that occurs in patients with LAGC in the early stage (3 –5 days) after fluorouracil plus platinum-based NACT is related to a poor prognosis, which is a simple and effective method to screen related patients with unfavored outcomes. Notably, the increase in absolute neutrophil count and platelet count has been proved to be an independent risk factor.
