Abstract

Objective: Our previous study found that the combined prealbumin and lymphocyte (Co-PaL) score could accurately classify patients into severe, mild to moderate malnutrition and good nutrition, and might be a predictor for prognosis of patients undergoing gastrectomy for stage II/III gastric cancer (GC). The aim of the present study was to validate these findings. Methods: /L and/or the prealbumin concentration
