Abstract
A novel neutrophil phenotype demonstrating reduced NET formation, reduced apoptosis, and increased phagocytosis has been demonstrated in patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection. As a consequence of impaired cell death, an accumulation of neutrophils in the circulation could be potentially harmful to the host following surgery and an early phenotypic switch may be desirable.
