Objectives: To assess the impact of pilot Transnasal endoscopy (TNE) services on workforce efficiency, allocated procedure times and patient tolerance of procedures. The aim was to also understand the challenges of setting up a TNE service.
Methods: Six-month data was collected from ten sites.
Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the role of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a prognostic marker of rectal cancers.
Methods: We undertook a retrospective review of patients with rectal cancer. Pre-treatment NLR was assessed for association and predictive values against clinicopathological staging and post-treatment outcomes.
