This study aims to evaluate the value of the LNR as a prognostic indicator in patients with rectal cancer who offered total mesorectal excision.
Patients and methods Study design and setting This is a retrospective review of prospectively collected and maintained database of patients with CRC admitted in the Oncology Center of Mansoura University (OCMU), the Colorectal Surgery Unit of Mansoura University Hospitals, and the Department of General Surgery of Alexandria University.

We will exclude patients with patients younger than 18 years; patients with synchronous colon cancer; synchronous liver, pulmonary or bones metastasis; or synchronous gastrointestinal cancer; or patients who were lost to follow-up.
