Glasgow Prognostic Score as a Prognostic Factor in Patients Undergoing Curative Surgery for Colorectal Cancer

Abstract: Background/Aims: Systemic inflammatory responses have been reported to be independent predictors of cancer-specific survival in colorectal cancer. The Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), which is an inflammation-based prognostic factor, is defined by the presence of elevated C-reactive protein and hypoalbuminemia. The purpose of this study was to estimate whether GPS can be a prognostic factor in patients undergoing curative surgery for colorectal cancers. Methods: We studied 166 patients with stage II (TNM classi… Show more

“…There were 8 studies reporting the relationship between the level of GPS and TNM stage 1618, 20, 21, 23, 27, 29 . The combined odds ratio (OR) of 1.44 (95% CI: 1.010–2.065, P  = 0.044) displayed that patients with elevated GPS was prone to be in advanced TNM stages, with no significant heterogeneity ( I 2  = 38.5%, P  = 0.123; Fig.…”

“…Previous studies demonstrated that the systemic inflammatory response-related factors including GPS, NLR and PNI were prognostic indicators in various cancers, because they reflect the tumor microenvironment, which are regarded as host-related factors induced by the tumor [9,[29][30][31][32]. Based on multivariate analysis in this study, we found that high ALP level is an independent factor to predict poor prognosis in advanced gastric cancer patients in addition to the traditional prognostic markers such as diffuse-type histology and further invaded tumor.…”

“…Furthermore, recent studies have demonstrated that an elevated peripheral neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) could be a poor prognostic indicator in various cancers [7,8] . Although the mechanism by which systemic inflammation could influence survival is not clear, it is believed that systemic inflammatory response-related factors reflect the tumor microenvironment, including tumor versus host interactions, and are thus regarded as host-related factors induced by the tumor [9] .…”
