Abstract

Introduction: The albumin-to-globulin ratio (AGR) has been extensively studied as a predictor of the clinical outcomes of various tumors including gastric cancer (GC). Meanwhile, the predictive performance of the albumin-lymphocyte-globulin-C-reactive protein (ALGC) index has not yet been examined for GC. We investigated the clinical relevance of the preoperative ALGC index in patients undergoing curative surgery for GC, alongside the AGR and five other well-established inflammatory/nutritional parameters.
