Monocytes; Absolute lymphocyte count; Stomach neoplasms |
| Core Tip |
Our findings suggest that the absolute mo?nocyte count (AMC) and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) prognostic score combined by AMC and ALC can predicts survival and identify gastric cancer patients with a poor overall survival, and this prognostic score is independent of age, pathologic stage, and various inflammatory markers. |
