An increase in the peripheral lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio after primary site resection is associated with a prolonged survival in unresectable colorectal carcinoma
2019
Purpose
The prognostic benefits of primary tumor resection in patients with unresectable distant metastatic colorectal cancer remain unclear. A high pre-treatment lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) was previously shown to be associated with a better prognosis. We assessed whether or not primary tumor resection was associated with an improved survival if the peripheral lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio increased after primary site resection.
