Purpose:
Previous studies have shown that the new nutritional and immunological status scoring systems of the Naples prognostic score (NPS), controlling nutritional status score (CONUT), and the older prognostic nutritional index (PNI) are independent predictors in colorectal cancer. This study compares the prognostic value of NPS, CONUT, and PNI in T1-2N0 colorectal cancer.
Methods:
We retrospectively evaluated 305 consecutive stage I (T1-2N0M0) colorectal cancer patients who underwent radical surgery from January 2010 to December 2015 at our hospital. The NPS results were divided into 3 groups (0, 1, and 2 groups), and the PNI and CONUT results were divided into 2 groups (low and high groups).
Results:
The patients with low PNI had worse overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) than those with high PNI (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that PNI was independently associated with OS and DFS (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively), but NPS and CONUT results were not.
Conclusion:
The PNI is an independent predictor in stage I colorectal cancer, but NPS and CONUT results are not.

A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...
