The prognostic value of nine different inflammatory markers were evaluated relative to short\u2010 (i.e., postoperative morbidity) and long\u2010term (recurrence\u2010free survival [RFS] and overall survival [OS]) outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among 715 patients, 499 (69.8%) and 216 (30.2%) individuals were included in the derivation and validation cohorts, respectively. Patients with advanced disease and poor tumor biology had lower median levels of LCR. An optimal LCR cutoff threshold of 6100 was identified in the derivation cohort. LCR demonstrated the highest accuracy to predict RFS and OS, with areas under the ROC curve of 0.724 and 0.716, respectively. After adjusting for relevant clinicodemographic factors, lower LCR remained associated with higher odds of postoperative complications (OR: 1.98 [95% CI: 1.27\u20133.10] and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.003) and particularly, infectious complications (OR: 2.80 [95% CI: 1.57\u20135.01] and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001).
