摘要

Purpose

To investigate the prognostic value of the CALLY index for colorectal cancer.

Methods

The subjects if this retrospective analysis were patients who underwent laparoscopic or robot-assisted surgery for pathological stage II–III colorectal cancer between 2009 and 2023 at a single center. The relationship between the CALLY index and prognosis was compared with the prognostic nutritional index and the modified Glasgow prognostic score, and its association with clinicopathological features and perioperative treatment was assessed. Subgroup analyses were performed based on pathological stage. A meta-analysis of published studies was performed to establish a harmonized cutoff value for the CALLY index.

Results

A total of 338 patients were enrolled. The optimal CALLY cutoff was 3.67. A CALLY index of < 3.67 was an independent predictor of poor outcomes in multivariate Cox regression analyses. The 3-year-overall survival rates were 97.3% and 88.3% in the high- and low-CALLY groups, respectively (P = 0.005). The subgroup analyses revealed that patients with stage III colorectal cancer and a low-CALLY index had poorer survival and were less likely to receive oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy. The meta-analysis yielded a pooled cutoff value of 3.18 (95% CI, 1.48–4.88).

Conclusions

The CALLY index outperforms existing biomarkers and is valuable for prognostic stratification and treatment decision-making in patients with resectable colorectal cancer.
