Preoperative systemic inflammation predicts postoperative infectious complications in patients undergoing curative resection for colorectal cancer [PDF]
, 2009 The presence of systemic inflammation before surgery, as evidenced by the glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), predicts poor long-term survival in colorectal cancer. The aim was to examine the relationship between the preoperative mGPS and the development of
