Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gastric cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and accurate risk stratification is essential for improving patient management and survival. Increasing evidence indicates that systemic inflammation and nutritional status play a crucial role in tumor progression and treatment outcomes. In particular, immune-inflammatory indices and other prognostic biomarkers have emerged as promising tools for survival prediction and individualized risk assessment in patients with gastric cancer.
This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in translational and clinical research addressing prognostic biomarkers, systemic inflammation, nutritional status, and predictive models of clinical outcomes in gastric cancer. We welcome original research articles, systematic reviews, and clinical studies exploring immune-inflammatory indices, novel biomarkers, and innovative approaches to survival prediction and treatment decision-making in gastric cancer.
