Association between absolute lymphocyte count and overall mortality in patients with surgically resected gastric cancer.

Conclusions: This study demonstrate that ever lymphopenia is independent prognostic factor for overall mortality and recurrence in patients with potentially curable gastric cancer; hence, ALCs may be a biomarker for predicting the prognoses of patients with stage I-III gastric cancer who had curative gastrectomy.
