    Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality, particularly affecting men under 50 years of age.

  • 2

    The Neutrophil-To-Lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a significant inflammatory marker associated with poor survival outcomes in CRC patients.

  • 3

    This study investigates the prognostic implications of persistent elevated NLR one year post-surgery for CRC.

  • 4

    Patients with elevated NLR after one year may indicate a poor prognosis, highlighting the need for further research on postoperative inflammation.

  • 5

    The study included 935 patients who underwent curative surgery for CRC, focusing on the evolution of inflammatory markers postoperatively.
