To develop a simple and convenient inflammation-nutrition-adiposity biomarker to complement the TNM staging system, further assess the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer cachexia. This study was a multi-centre cohort study. The triceps skinfold thickness-albumin index (TA) was calculated b...
