Abstrakt:	Background: Low-density granulocytes (LDGs) have been shown to be increased in the peripheral blood of patients with inflammatory and malignant diseases. This study evaluated LDGs in patients who underwent radical surgery for colorectal cancer (CRC) and their impact on survival. Methods: Patients who underwent radical colectomy between 2017 to 2021 were screened for enrolment in the study. Peripheral blood was obtained in the operating room before and after surgery and cells were recovered from the mononuclear layer after density gradient preparations. The ratio of CD66b(+) LDG to CD45(+) leukocytes was determined with flow cytometry, and the association of the ratios with patient outcomes was examined. The main outcome of interest was recurrence-free survival (RFS). Results: Out of 228 patients treated, 176 were enrolled, including 108 colonic and 68 rectal cancers. Overall, 38 patients were stage I, 30 were stage II, 72 were stage 3, and 36 were stage IV. The number of LDGs was markedly increased immediately after surgery and the proportion of LDGs correlated positively with operating time (r = 0.2806, P < 0.001) and intraoperative blood loss (r = 0.1838, P = 0.014). Purified LDGs produced high amounts of neutrophil extracellular traps after short-term culture and efficiently trapped tumour cells in vitro. The proportion of postoperative LDGs was significantly higher in 13 patients who developed recurrence (median 9 (range 1.63-47.0)) per cent versus median 2.93 ((range 0.035-59.45) per cent, P = 0.013). When cut-off values were set at 4.9 per cent, a higher proportion of LDGs was strongly and independently associated with decreased RFS (P = 0.005). In patients with stage III disease, adjuvant chemotherapy significantly improved RFS of patients with high ratios of LDGs, but not low LDGs. Conclusion: LDGs are recruited to circulating blood by surgical stress early in the postoperative interval after colectomy for colonic cancer and their postoperative proportion is correlated with recurrence.
