Abstract
BACKGROUND: Inflammation-related biomarkers, such as systemic inflammation score (SIS) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), are associated with colorectal cancer prognosis. However, the combined role of SIS, NLR, and clinicopathological factors in stage II/III colorectal cancer remains unclear. This study developed a nomogram to predict long-term prognosis for these patients.
