Assessment of the relationship between neutrophil lymphocyte ratio and prognostic factors in non-metastatic colorectal cancer.

Objective: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio still has a limited clinical use due to many non-cancer factors affecting neutrophils or lymphocytes in the present time. We aimed to evaluate the association between preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and poor prognostic factors after curative elective colorectal surgery.

Material And Methods: This clinical retrospective study was initiated with 95 patients, who had a curative surgical resection between 2003 and 2013.
