| Core Tip |
It has been noted that a subset of gastric cancer patients who underwent gastrectomy with normal baseline white blood cell counts experience mild to moderate leukopenia after surgery. This retrospective analysis investigated preoperative and postoperative leukocyte counts in gastric cancer patients to assess their relationship with clinicopathologic characteristics and their potential prognostic value. The results show, for the first time, that preoperative leukocytosis and postoperative leukopenia significantly correlated with overall survival in resectable gastric cancer treated with adjuvant chemotherapy. This suggests the prognostic importance of perioperative total leukocyte count for operable gastric cancer.
