摘要：
We tested the hypothesis that reduced tryptophan availability due to immunological stimulation in colorectal cancer impairs quality of life (QoL) by measuring serum tryptophan levels, and correlating them with serum immunological markers and with QoL indices. Serum tryptophan level was significantly reduced in cancer patients compared with healthy controls. Serum tryptophan/kynurenine ratio and neopterin level were significantly increased in cancer, with a significant correlation between the two variables. Reduced serum tryptophan correlated significantly with worse QoL scores. The results support the hypothesis that in colorectal cancer, QoL impairment may be due to serum tryptophan depletion mediated by immunological activation.
