PD-037 The relationship of high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio to disease-free survival in colorectal cancer

Introduction: The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an indicator of systemic inflammatory response and has the potential for use as blood-based biomarker to predict outcomes in patients (pts) with colorectal cancer (CRC). Aim: To determine risk factors associated with CRC recurrence and to determine whether NLR independently correlates with disease free survival (DFS) in CRC pts. Methods: All pts who underwent treatment for stages I-III of...
