Background: Inflammatory blood count biomarkers may improve recurrence risk stratification and inform long-term prognosis of cancer patients. Here, we quantify the prognostic impact of blood-based biomarkers on recurrence risk and long-term survival in a large cohort of gastrointestinal stroma tumor (GIST) patients after curative surgery.

Methods: One-hundred-forty-nine consecutive GIST patients were followed-up for a median period of 4.

Background: To validate the potential prognostic significance of preoperatively assessed inflammatory parameters leucocytosis, thrombocytosis and anemia in patients with non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated a cohort comprising 736 consecutive patients with non-metastatic RCC, operated on between 2004 and 2012 with curative radical or partial nephrectomy at a single tertiary academic centre. Laboratory parameters were assessed within one week before surgical intervention.

Aims: Increasing evidence suggests that the serum-gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) might correlate with tumour development and growth rates in various human cancer types. Thus, we decided to investigate the potential prognostic impact of the preoperatively assessed serum-GGT in a European cohort of patients with non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Methods: Clinicopathological data from 700 consecutive patients with non-metastatic RCC, operated between 2000 and 2010 at a single tertiary academic centre, were evaluated retrospectively.

Purpose: Aminotransaminases, which are strongly involved in cellular metabolism and cancer cell turnover, represent easily measureable, potential blood based biomarkers. We evaluated the prognostic value of the preoperatively assessed AST/ALT (De Ritis) ratio on clinically meaningful end points in a large European cohort of patients with nonmetastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated clinicopathological data on 698 patients with nonmetastatic renal cell carcinoma operated on between 2005 and 2013 at a single tertiary academic center.
