Background Serum prealbumin (PALB) can predict the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer (GC). However, the prognostic value of combination of C-reactive protein and PALB (CRP/PALB) remains unclear. Methods A total of 419 gastric cancer patients included in a clinical trial (NCT02327481) were an...
