Description
Xun-Lin Chen and colleagues report a 2026 study of a combined blood score for stomach cancer survival in older adults. The score joins a nutrition index with a ratio of white cell types linked to inflammation. The team reviewed 609 older patients who had radical stomach removal surgery at one Chinese hospital between 2012 and 2020.
Both parts of the score independently predicted overall and disease-free survival. Patients with better nutrition scores and lower cell ratios lived longer without the cancer returning. The combined score kept its predictive value across several statistical methods, including machine learning checks. It beat chance by a clear margin on accuracy measures. The authors say the cheap blood-based score could guide risk grouping, but it needs testing in new patient groups first.
