ALB and gastric cancer: Kim et al. [35] constructed a scoring system to predict the prognosis of advanced gastric cancer using five variables, including serum neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio, alkaline phosphatase level, and albumin level, which had an AUC of 0.661 for 1-year OS, which was not high and the novelty of these variables was insufficient; Luo et al. [36] used an external database to screen nine relevant glycolytic genes for the construction of predictive scores.
