The relationship between an inflammation-based prognostic score (Glasgow Prognostic Score) and changes in serum biochemical variables in patients with advanced lung and gastrointestinal cancer

Abstract

Several correlations were seen between biochemical variables and increasing GPS. In particular, chronic activation of the systemic inflammatory response in cancer was associated with increase in gamma-glutamyl transferase and alkaline phosphatase activity in patients with advanced lung and gastrointestinal cancer.
