Methods: Platelet (PLT) count was analyzed retrospectively in 203 patients with gastric cancer from 1998 to 2002. The survivals of gastric cancer were compared between normal PLT group and thrombocytosis group. Results: Among 203 cases, PLT increased in 21 cases. The average platelet counts of patients at different stages had statistically significant differences (P<0.01). The 3-and 5-year survivals in patients of thrombocytosis group were lower than those of the normal PLT group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Thrombocytosis in gastric cancers with advanced stage are common. And PLT count can be a prognostic indicator of survival in patients with gastric cancer undergoing gastrectomy.展开更多
