PurposeAssociations between the preoperative absolute neutrophil count (NC), lymphocyte count (LC), and monocyte count (MC) in the peripheral blood and the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients have not been widely studied.MethodsWe enrolled 361 patients who underwent surgery for CRC between January 2007 and December 2013 to analyze correlations among the LC, MC, and NC and prognosis.ResultsBased on cut-off values determined by a receiver operating characteristic analysis, patients were subgrouped as LymphHighor LymphLow(cut-off: LC = 1460 cells/µL); as MonoHighor MonoLow(cut-off: MC = 421 cells/µL); and as NeutHighor NeutLow(cut-off: NC = 3247 cells/µL). Patients were then given lymphocyte–monocyte–neutrophil (LMN) scores by adding the points of their different subgroups (1 point each for LymphLow, MonoHighand NeutHigh; 0 points for LymphHigh, MonoLowand NeutLow). The 5-year overall survival rates significantly differed by the LMN score (0: 89.7%, 1: 80.6%, 2: 68.8%, and 3: 57.4%;P< 0.0001). In the multivariate analysis, the LMN score was found to be an independent prognostic indicator.ConclusionsThe combination of the preoperative absolute number of lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils is a useful prognostic indicator in CRC patients.
