Zusammenfassung:The aim of this study was to interrogate whether blood-borne inflammatory and nutritional markers predict long-term survival and response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in radically treated oesophagogastric cancer patients. This retrospective study included 246 patients who underwent oesophageal resection for high-grade dysplasia or carcinoma between 2005 and 2010. The predictive value of routine preoperative immunonutritional blood tests was assessed for their association with survival and response to chemotherapy. On multivariate analysis, higher neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) ( p
