ALB and neoplasm: On the univariate survival analysis of individual variables, age (P<0.001), Dukes’ stage (P<0.001), vascular invasion (P<0.001), peritoneal involvement (P<0.001), resection margin involvement (P<0.001), tumour perforation (P<0.005), C-reactive protein (P<0.001) and albumin (P<0.05) were associated significantly with overall survival.
