Inflammation-based prognostic system predicts survival after surgery for stage IV colorectal cancer

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to estimate whether the Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) is useful for predicting the survival of patients after surgery for stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods The GPS was calculated on the basis of admission data as follows: patients with both an i...

Summary:Abstract Background The aim of this study was to estimate whether the Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) is useful for predicting the survival of patients after surgery for stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods The GPS was calculated on the basis of admission data as follows: patients with both an increased C-reactive protein (CRP) level (>1.0 mg/dL) and hypoalbuminemia (
