Abstract
The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) reflects inflammatory status. An elevated NLR has been reported to be a prognostic indicator in some malignant tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical significance of the preoperative NLR in patients with primary gastric cancer.Keywords
