Platelet‐to‐lymphocyte ratio could be a promising prognostic biomarker for survival of colorectal cancer: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

Inflammation is one of the most important causes leading to colorectal carcinogenesis, and inflammatory biomarkers such as the platelet‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (PLR) might predict survival in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the prognostic value of PLR in CRC patients remains controversial. The prognos...
