Core Tip	This study systematically evaluated the relationship between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and prognosis in patients with gastric cancer (GC) receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). This is the first meta-analysis to evaluate the association between NLR and prognosis in patients with NAC for GC. In summary, NLR levels are highly correlated with the prognosis of GC patients receiving NAC, and NLR can be used as an effective biomarker for prognosis assessment of GC patients.
