Core Tip The conventional tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system for gastric cancer has limitations as it often fails to capture tumor biology and host immune responses. Zhou et al developed a novel composite biomarker using the inflammatory markers, systemic inflammation response index and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio. This score has been identified as an independent predictor of survival. A nomogram integrating this score with the TNM stage and other factors demonstrated superior predictive accuracy compared with the TNM system alone. Although promising, these findings require multicenter validation. Future studies should integrate these biomarkers with genomic data for more precise and personalized risk stratification of patients with gastric cancer.
