Abstract:(CRP), and clinicopathological variables were studied in a training set of 175 patients with CRC. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used to determine the role of NAR. Independent predictors of survival identified in multivariate analysis were externally validated in an independent cohort of 128 patients with CRC. RESULTS: Univariate analyses showed that NAR (p<0.001), tumor size (p¼0.008), tumor depth (p¼0.001), lymph node metastais (p<0.001), TNM stage (p<0.001), CEA (p¼0.001), CA19-9 (p<… Show more
