In univariate analyses, tumor length (P = 0.030), vessel invasion (P = 0.010), perineural invasion (P = 0.034), TNM stage (P < 0.001), NLR (P < 0.001), CRP (P < 0.001), Alb(P = 0.001), GPS (P < 0.001), CRP/Alb (P < 0.001) and NLR/Alb (P < 0.001) were also significant predictors of CSS. Here, CRP is linked to neoplasm.
