The ability of HALP score to distinguish between malignant and benign colorectal neoplasms and its prognostic importance in colorectal cancers

Systemic inflammation and nutritional status play important roles in the development progression of various cancers, including colorectal cancer. The prognosis for malignancies can be predicted using inflammatory marker known as HALP (calculated by hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocytes, platelets). Furthermore, recent studies have claimed score to help distinguish between benign malignant lesions. We aimed research diagnostic importance differentiation (colorectal cancer) neoplasms adenomas hyperplastic polyps) its prognostic significance cancer patients. Patients diagnosed with cancer, adenoma, polyps were evaluated retrospectively January 2017 2022. median group was significantly lower than other groups adenoma (p<0.001). There no statistical difference scores (p=0.525). ROC analysis found cut-off value 41.01 differentiate from lesions (sensitivity= 0.73, specitivity=0.62, 95% CI=0.67-0.76, p<0.001). level below 28.1 associated worse overall survival (p=0.046) shown an independent factor group. used a
