The results revealed that gastric cancer recurrence was related to alcohol consumption [yes vs. no, hazard ratio (HR) =2.47, p = 0.05], decreased serum albumin (< 35 g/L, HR = 2.03, p = 0.009), decreased serum prealbumin (< 200 mg/L, HR = 7.44, p < 0.001), and decreased hemoglobin (< 110 g/L, HR = 2.09. The gene discussed is TTR; the disease is gastric cancer.
