For locally advanced gastric cancer, the NACT could significantly decrease some inflammatory markers. The pre-NACT NLR, the post-NACT Hgb and the change value of LMR had some values in survival prediction combined with age, sex, tumor location and the clinical stages under different clinical scenarios. The elevated initial NLR, the preoperative anemia and the greater change value of LMR implied a poor prognosis.
