Abstract
Proper patient selection for palliative chemotherapy is essential in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). C-reactive protein (CRP) and the derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR) are available in clinical practice and may support prognostic understanding and decision-making. We studied the prognostic value of systemic inflammation through CRP, dNLR, Interleukin (IL)-6, and YKL-40 on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in the NORDIC9 cohort including vulnerable older adults with mCRC.
