Inflammation-Based Prognostic Score and Number of Lymph Node Metastases Are Independent Prognostic Factors in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Abstract

Preoperative GPS may be useful for postoperative prognosis of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. GPS and the number of lymph node metastases could be used to identify a subgroup of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who are eligible for radical resection but show poor prognosis.
