Tumor-Stroma Ratio is a Critical Indicator of Peritoneal Metastasis in Gastric Cancer by Zhong L, Huang H, Hou D, Zhou S, Lin Y, Yu Y, Yu J, Han F, Xie L

“…The TSR-based model, combined with CA125, CA724 and Borrmann type, exhibited strong diagnostic effectiveness and considerable predictive efficacy, with an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.85 in the training cohort, 0.73 in the external validation cohort, and 0.72 in the metachronous PM cohort.Conclusion: The TSR emerges as a crucial marker for PM in GC, with the developed model, based on TSR and preoperative examination data, demonstrating substantial diagnostic and predictive capabilities.Keywords: tumor-stroma ratio, peritoneal metastasis, gastric cancer, preoperative examinations, nomogram…”
