Abstract: A methodology named "immunoscore" has been proposed in recent years. It has been demonstrated to be a prognostic factor superior to the Union for International Cancer ControlAmerican Joint Committee on Cancer (UICCAJCC) TNM classification. Over the past few years, it has gained a forefront position in colorectal cancer. It has the advantages of simple operation, low cost and high accuracy, and it is needed for individual therapy. However, it still has its limitations.

Key words: Neoplasm staging, Prognosis, Immunoscore
