A large variety of factors can affect colorectal cancer (CRC) survival, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and paraneoplastic thrombocytosis. Although several common factors play a role in their development and platelets are damaged in both diseases, the combined relationship of the three conditions was never investigated previously.
