Description
Ryota Matsui and co-authors test a new prealbumin score for prognosis after stomach cancer surgery. Nutrition and inflammation markers help predict survival after gastrectomy. The classic Glasgow score uses albumin, which shifts slowly.
The new score swaps in prealbumin, a faster-moving protein. Cut points for prealbumin and a key inflammation marker define three grades. Thousands of patients with stage one to three cancer were scored. Higher scores tracked with clearly poorer survival overall. Even among patients with the best classic score, the new score split risk. That split shows added value beyond the old tool. The score is simple to compute from routine blood tests. It may guide follow-up intensity after surgery.
