Observational Study
Colorectal Cancer, Systemic Inflammation, and Outcome: Staging the Tumor and Staging the Host.
This study aims to examine the clinical utility of the combination of TNM stage and modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) in patients undergoing potentially curative resection of colorectal cancer (CRC). ⋯ This study shows how the combination of TNM and mGPS effectively stratifies outcome in patients undergoing potentially curative resection of CRC. These data support routine staging of both the tumor and the host in patients with CRC.
