The Preoperative Blood Lymphocyte-To-Monocyte Ratio Acts As a Superior Prognostic Factor and Predicts Tumor Metastasis in Gastric Neuroendocrine Neoplasms after Surgery

#1633

Introduction: A low lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) has been reported to be a predictor of poor survival in patients with various cancers but has not been examined in patients with gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms (g-NENs).

Aim(s): The aim of this study is to investigate the prognostic significance of the LMR in g-NENs.

Materials and methods: We enrolled 177 patients who had been diagnosed with g-NENs and undergone radical surgery. A nomogram was adopted to predict recurrence free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).
