Abstract
- Background: The ratio of fibrinogen to prealbumin (FPR) is associated with the prognosis of many cancers. However, the prognostic significance of FPR in resectable gastric cancer has not been clarified. Methods: A total of 760 patients with resectable gastric cancer participated in this study. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to calculate the optimal cutoff value of each immunonutrition marker. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to confirm the prognostic value of FPR in patients with gastric cancer and to select appropriate variables for the construction of nomogram. Results: Utilizing ROC analysis, we calculated the optimal cutoff value for FPR and stratified 760 patients into high and low FPR groups. Subsequent examination revealed notable distinctions in baseline characteristics between these groups. For instance, Patients with higher FPR tend to be older and have more lymph node metastasis. Statistical analysis through the chi-square test confirmed the significance of these differences (P < 0.05). In addition, the results of the multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis indicate that the factors related to OS were age (P = 0.001), T stage (P < 0.001), N stage (P < 0.001), radical resection (P < 0.001), and FPR (P < 0.024). The nomogram is composed of the above five variables. ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the nomogram was 0.859 (95% CI: 0.831– 0.887), and the sensitivity and specificity were 77.4% and 82.1%, respectively. Conclusion: FPR is a potential marker in patients with resectable gastric cancer. The nomogram based on FPR shows good predictive ability, which is helpful for clinicians to judge the prognosis of patients and choose targeted treatment strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
