BACKGROUND: Systemic inflammation plays a critical role in tumor progression and postoperative recurrence in gastric cancer. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are readily accessible biomarkers of systemic inflammatory and immune responses, but their dynamic changes around surgery remain underexplored. This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of principal...
