Systemic inflammatory response predicts oncological outcomes in patients undergoing elective surgery for mismatch repair-deficient colorectal cancer

Introduction A variety of inflammatory scoring systems and their prognostic value have been reported in many solid organ cancers. This study aimed to examine the association between the systemic and local inflammatory responses, and oncological outcomes in patients undergoing elective surgery for mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) phenotype colorectal cancer (CRC).
