Elevation of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio before First-Line Chemotherapy Predicts a Poor Prognosis for Second-Line Chemotherapy in Gastric Cancer.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The RUNX proteins are a family of transcriptional factors that have essential functions during embryogenesis and development, whereas deregulation in expression of RUNXs is often linked to tumor formation. To date, there has been no study describing the precise expression, prognostic impact and methylation s...
