Abstract
Objective: Although the prognostic immune and nutritional index (PINI) has attracted increasing attention as a prognostic marker for various cancers, its clinical significance in older patients has not been fully clarified. This retrospective single-center study aimed to investigate the association among PINI, long-term prognosis, and postoperative complications in older patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).
