title: The effect of deprivation and the systemic inflammatory response on outcome following curative resection for colorectal cancer.
abstract: The presence of a systemic inflammatory response predicted cancer-specific (HR 2.55, 95% CI 1.22-5.32, P<0.05) and overall survival (HR 2.12, 95% CI 1.17-3.87, P<0.05), independent of Dukes stage, in patients who had undergone apparently curative surgery for colorectal cancer (n=158). Deprivation predicted overall survival (HR 1.26, 95% CI 1.04-1.51, P<0.05) independent of Dukes stage.
