Predictive value of systemic immune-inflammation index and serum lactoferrin for postoperative survival in older patients with colon cancer

This preliminary analysis suggests that the SII and LF levels may predict the survival and prognosis of older patients with colon cancer postoperatively, when assessing the risk of postoperative recurrence and complications. These two categories of indicators have good prognostic evaluation potential in clinical practice and can provide strong support for the development of individualized treatment strategies.
