[A prediction of prognosis by A-L score in patients with stage IV colorectal cancer].
We analyzed the relationship between A-L score classified by serum albumin level and lymphocytes/white blood cells ratio and clinicopathological features in patients with Stage IV colorectal cancer. Seventy-nine patients were classified by the A-L score. In lower-scored cases, the populations of elderly patients, patients with emergency operation and patients with poorer PS were increased. Additionally, the 2-year survival rate was decreased as low as A-L score. In the multivariate analysis, the A-L score was independent prognostic factor in Stage IV colorectal cancer.
