In fact, although previous studies have indicated that CRP and PCT were correlated with the outcome either preoperatively [4, 29–31] or postoperatively [23–27] in CRC, there have also been studies suggesting that these factors would be more useful in predicting infective complications [12, 32–34] and may not be associated with disease recurrence [33] or outcome [7, 34–37]. Here, CRP is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
