The red blood cell distribution width (RDW) level is a potential prognostic factor for solid tumours. We aimed to investigate the predictive value of pre-neoadjuvant chemotherapy (pre-NAC) RDW, preoperative RDW and the change in RDW on the pathological response and prognosis of patients with colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM), which was helpful for treatment decision-making, surveillance and prognostication.
