Prognostic Nutrition Index as a Biomarker for Treatment Sensitivity to Chemotherapy and Nivolumab as the First-Line Treatment in Patients with Unresectable Advanced or Recurrent Gastric Cancer: A Multicenter Study
PNI is a score composed of a patient's albumin level and lymphocyte count that can be easily assessed in daily clinical practice. Evaluating it is easy for each treatment; thus, when there is a focus on its transition, PNI could be a very powerful biomarker for predicting treatment sensitivity.
