Abstract
Background: Patients demonstrating strong immune responses to primary colorectal cancer (CRC) have a survival benefit following surgery, while those with predominantly stromal microenvironments do poorly. Biomarkers to identify patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) who have good prognosis following surgery for oligometastatic disease remain elusive. The aim of this study was to determine the practical application of a simple histological assessment of immune cell infiltration and stromal content in predicting outcome following synchronous resection of primary CRC and CRLM, and to interrogate the underlying functional biology that drives disease progression.
