May aid risk stratification after curative colon resection; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Do the Petersen Index and modified Glasgow Prognostic Score independently predict cancer-specific survival in patients undergoing curative resection for colon cancer?
Combining the tumour-based Petersen Index and inflammation-based modified Glasgow Prognostic Score can better stratify recurrence risk in patients after curative colon cancer resection.
Roxburgh et al. (2009) studied this question.
