| Core Tip |
Median overall survival (OS) was 10.4 mo in the high hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP) group and 7.5 mo in the low HALP group. There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of age (P < 0.001), second-line chemotherapy (P < 0.001), sex (P = 0.035), and HALP score (P = 0.004). The HALP score has been demonstrated to be useful as a prognostic factor in a variety of cancer types, including genitourinary and gastrointestinal malignancies. Our study is the first to investigate the HALP score in patients with metastatic gastric cancer. We found that patients with high HALP scores had longer OS. Given its simplicity and low cost, we think the HALP score can be utilized to manage patients with gastric cancer. |
