Mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width correlates with prognosis of early colon cancer.

CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that elevated MPV and decreased PDW appear to be unfavorable prognostic factors in early CC, especially in patients with stage III disease. Considering the wide availability and accessibility of these indices, it is reasonable to designate further larger prospective studies to clarify and verify their potential roles in early CC.
