Should not yet alter management in locally advanced esophageal cancer; leaves open the utility of inflammatory ratios in prognostic models.
Introduction: Currently, esophageal cancer remains one of the cancers most associated with morbidity and mortality. In recent studies, the C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) has been described as an important marker of prognosis associated with the inflammatory status that influences the carcinogenic process.
