Core Tip Postoperative anxiety and depression are common after intestinal tumor surgery and are associated with inflammation, nutritional imbalance, and poorer survival and health-related quality of life. Building on a prospective study by Wei et al, this letter reinterprets the “psychological status-inflammation/nutrition- quality of life” pathway within a gut-immune-brain axis framework and advocates broader biomarker profiling, longer follow-up, and intervention trials triggered by neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and albumin-to-fibrinogen ratio thresholds to promote more integrated, health-oriented perioperative care.
