Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and fourth leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. The global burden of CRC is expected to increase by 60% to more than 2.2 million new cases and 1.1 million deaths by 2030 [1]. Despite the standardization of surgical procedures (total mesorectal excision and complete mesocolic excision) and the contributory effect of neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies on survival, recurrence occurs in 30%-50% of CRC cases [2]. There are numerous factors affecting survival in CRC that could be divided into 2 main groups: patient characteristics (performance status, age, and sex) and tumor characteristics (TNM stage, biomarkers, and gene mutations). However, it is well known that the survival time can differ even for patients with the same characteristics and the same disease stage at diagnosis. LDH and albumin are significant markers of systemic inflammation and have been shown to play a key role in promoting cancer
