Prognostic value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios pre- and post-surgery in stage III CRC: a study of 2,742 patients
High NLR levels before and after surgery is a strong predictor of poor outcomes in stage III CRC patients. The findings suggest that monitoring NLR at both time points can be a valuable prognostic tool, guiding postoperative care and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes.
