Figure 2. Overall survival plots of patients with stage I to stage III colorectal cancer according the preoperative platelet counts.

Patients were allocated into two groups: with thrombocytosis, PLT ≥ 400 × 10 ³/µL (labeled as Exceeds) and without thrombocytosis) PLT < 400 × 10 ³/µL (labeled as Normal). The patients with thrombocytosis have a hazard ratio of 1.8 compare to the patients without thrombocytosis (P<0.041).
