Item Eficacia pronóstica de la relación plaquetas / linfocitos y la relación neutrófilos / linfocitos en pacientes con cáncer gástrico(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2023-03-01) López Altamirano, Joselyn Macarena; Rosero Freire, Daniela Alexandra Lic. Mg.Cancer is the main cause of death before age 70. Gastric cancer (GC) is responsible for 1 in 13 deaths worldwide and is predominant in men. Inflammation is closely related to cancer, as it activates differentblood cells such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelets, etc. A bibliographic review was carried out to collect and analyze studies concerning the prognostic efficacy of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) andplatelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients with gastric cancer. Upon analysis, several studies indicatedthat elevated values of both NLR and PLR show poor prognosis. However, we suggest that more research is needed to obtain cutoff values according to GC staging, in order to bea helpful tool in GC diagnosis and prognosis
