| Core Tip |
The study aimed to assess the predictive value of the tumor-associated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in terms of the clinical outcomes of 142 patients diagnosed with gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms. We demonstrated that the tumor-associated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio was significantly correlated with tumor recurrence, especially with liver and lymph node metastasis. Moreover, the tumor-associated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio was found to be an independent predictor of recurrence-free survival and overall survival, and combining it with the Ki-67 index and lymph node ratio could improve prognosis prediction in patients with gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms, as could applying the traditional TNM staging system. |
