Inflammation-related parameters have been revealed to have prognostic value in multiple caners. However, the significance of some inflammation-related parameters, including the peripheral blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI), remains controversial in T1–2 rectal cancer (RC). | Significance of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio and prognostic nutritional index for predicting clinical outcomes in T1 2 rectal cancer
