Background: Colorectal cancer peritoneal carcinomatosis (CRC PC) necessitates preoperative assessment of inflammatory markers to predict postoperative outcomes and guide treatment. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of preoperative Neutrophil–Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet–Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), and Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) in predicting complications for CRC PC patients undergoing surgery. Methods: Calculating NLR, PLR, and MPV from patient data: NLR = absolute neutrophil count/total lymphocyte count, PLR = total lymphocyte count/total platelet count × 100, and MPV = platelet crit (PCT)/total platelet count. Result: The study included 196 CRC PC patients and found significant relationships between these markers and overall survival (OS). Patients with an NLR of 3.77 had a median OS of 22.1 months, compared to 58.3 months for those with lower NLR (HR 2.7, 95% CI 1.1–5.3, p < 0.001). Conclusions: For CRC PC patients undergoing CRS+HIPEC, preoperative assessment of NLR, PLR, and MPV can serve as independent prognostic markers for OS. Incorporating these markers into preoperative evaluations may improve patient selection and outcome prediction.
