Fig. 6From: Neutrophils in primary gastric tumors are correlated with neutrophil infiltration in tumor-draining lymph nodes and the systemic inflammatory responseCorrelation between pre-operative NLR of patients with gastric cancer and CD15+TANs in gastric cancer tissue. a, b, c: Relationship between pre-operative NLR and tumor progression. a: pT3/T4 disease b: lymph nodes metastasis c: pStage. e, f: Comparative study on the number of CD15+TANs in each group. The patients were divided into two groups based on the median pre-operative NLR value. (1.93). The number of CD15+TANs in primary tumors were significantly high in the high NLR group.
