Objective  To determine the relationships between the preoperative and postoperative Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) and short-term prognosis in colorectal cancer. Methods  Patients pathologically verified colorectal cancer were prospectively enrolled at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April 2009 to June 2009. C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin (Alb) were examined on the third day before operation and the first day after operation. We calculated the value of GPS and analyzed the relationships between GPS and short-term prognosis. Results  This study enrolled 38 patients. Preoperative GPS was significantly related with pathological M stage (P=0.007) and TNM stage (P=0.013), and was not related with T stage and N stage (P gt;0.05). Postoperative GPS was not related with pathological T, M, N and TNM stages (P gt;0.05). Moreover, there was no relationship between GPS and postoperative quality of life or complications (P gt;0.05). Conclusions  Preoperative GPS correlates with pathologically M stages and TNM stages. Systematic inflammatory response maybe not the determinant factor for the short-term prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer.
