Predictive value of inflammatory markers in gastric cancer

Aim: Many recent studies are increasingly shedding light on the nature of relationship between cancer and inflammation. Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte (PLR) platelet/neutrophil (PNR), Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) proinflammatory markers, their prognostic importance has been investigated in many solid cancers. In this study, we discussed association these derivative inflammatory obtained from a cheap simple peripheral blood test, with clinicopathologic variables patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
 Material Method: The retrospective database total 148 who were operated Diyarbakır Gazi Yaşargil Training Research Hospital Department Surgery was analyzed. All results pathology reports reviewed retrospectively. Demographic characteristics pathological features tumor extracted database. NLR, PLR, PNR MPV values calculated cell counts. Data analyzed using SPSS version 24.0.
 Results: statistically significant according to N T stage tumor, respectively (p=0.035, p=0.011). MPV, difference observed T1 T2 tumors (p=0.029). PLR NLR did not show size (p>.05).
 Conclusion: significantly associated stage. However, clinical implications added value practice require further research.
