The expression levels of Arg-1 were significantly higher in the CRC tissues compared with the matched noncancerous tissues, and elevated Arg-1 expression was remarkably associated with stage III-IV tumors (P = 0.007), lymph node metastasis (P = 0.019) and a plasma albumin concentration <35 g/l (P = 0.022).
Lipids and proteins have been studied in CRC several years, thus a prognostic indicator based on preoperative serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and serum albumin (ALB) levels (HA score) in CRC patients and to compare the correlation with survival to that of the Glasgow prognostic score.
The aim was to evaluate a scoring system using the values of preoperative haemoglobin, C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin to predict colorectal cancer recurrence and survival.
Lower early postoperative serum albumin levels are a potentially valuable indicator of anastomotic leakage in CRC patients undergoing curative surgery.
We aimed to assess the usefulness of preoperative plasma albumin concentration and their changes as indicators of infectious complications in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery.
The objective of this study is to investigate the prognostic significance of preoperative albumin-to-fibrinogen ratio (AFR), fibrinogen-to-pre-albumin ratio (FPR), fibrinogen (Fib), albumin (Alb), and pre-albumin (pre-Alb) in CRC individuals.
Pre-operative serum albumin level substantially predicts post-operative morbidity and mortality among patients with colorectal cancer who undergo elective colectomy.
Increased number of forkhead box P3+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes correlates with high preoperative albumin level and better survival in patients with stage II or III colorectal cancer.
Lung shunt fraction (LSF) was calculated from macroaggregated albumin scan after transcatheter injection of radioactive particles in 62 patients with colorectal cancer and liver metastases evaluated for selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) from May 2007 to August 2012.
