  Introduction: Gastric Cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers that can result in death. Markers are needed to detect gastric cancer early and manage treatment. We aimed to reveal the relationship between Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) level and Fibrinogen-Albumin Ratio (FAR) and prognosis in gastric cancer, as well as to examine the relationship of these values with the number of metastatic lymph nodes and TNM stage. Materials and methods: The data of 805 consecutive gastrectomy patients were analyzed retrospectively. A total of 461 patients were included. The optimal cut- off values of CEA and FAR were 2.43 ng/mL and 1.26, respectively. Patients were stratified into three groups based on this cutoff value: CEA-FAR=0 (CEA<2.43 ng/mL and FAR<1.26), CEA-FAR=1 (CEA ≥ 2.43 ng/mL or FAR ≥ 1.26), and CEA-FAR=2 (CEA ≥ 2.43 ng/m.. Read More»
