Overview

Examines nutritional and immune decline in gastric cancer patients preoperatively, suggesting potential benefits of nutritional support.

Key Points

  • To investigate the change in nutritional and immune status of gastric cancer patients during the preoperative period.
  • Conducted a study of 124 gastric cancer patients
  • Measured serum albumin and total lymphocyte count to calculate prognostic nutritional index (PNI)
  • Assessed body mass index (BMI) and tumor diameter at multiple time points
  • PNI decreased significantly during the preoperative period (<i>P</i> < 0.001)
  • Decreases in serum albumin and TLC contributed to the PNI decline
  • BMI also showed significant reductions (<i>P</i> < 0.001)
  • Worsening progression-free survival and overall survival were linked to decreased preoperative PNI (<i>P</i> < 0.01)
