Clinicopathological correlation of aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio (APRI) and aspartate aminotransferase-to-alanine aminotransferase ratio (AAR) with survival in esophageal carcinoma patients: a retrospective cohort analysis of 951 patients
Abstract:Background:
Esophageal cancer is the eighth most prevalent cancer globally. Previously, several biomarkers have been used to predict the prognosis, although with variable reliability. Interestingly, it is noted that changes in liver function tests levels before and after neoadjuvant treatment are predictive in terms of cancer recurrence.
Objectives:
The objectives of the current study were to associate novel markers, including aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio (A… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
