The value of circulating fibrinogen-to-pre-albumin ratio in predicting survival and benefit from chemotherapy in colorectal cancer.

Circulating FPR is a robust and independent prognostic factor, a simple and economically-friendly predictor of chemotherapy efficacy within cases of localized and metastatic CRC. FPR-contained nomograms are more effective in predicting the prognosis of these patients. FPR and the nomogram can be recommended for the evaluation of chemotherapy efficacy and to aid decision-making associated with the management of these patients.
