The prognostic value of neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio is superior to derived neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio in advanced gastric cancer treated with preoperative chemotherapy and sequential R0 resection: a 5-year follow-up

Aim The role of neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and derived neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (d-NLR) in outcome prediction is assessed in patients with advanced gastric cancer receiving preoperative chemotherapy in a 5-year follow-up cohort.
