Univariate analysis showed that factors associated with good prognosis in neoadjuvant chemotherapy patients included age <65 years, CEA value ≤5ng/mL, lymphocyte count >1.5×109/L, normal albumin level, NLR ≤2.64, SII ≤683.16, PNI >49.23, tumor distance from the anal margin >5cm, tumor length ≤5cm, tumor invasion of the bowel wall ratio ≤50%, lower T stage and N stage, good tumor regression response, absence of KRAS gene mutation, and mismatch repair protein deficiency. Here, KRAS is linked to neoplasm.
