Core Tip	Elevated mean corpuscular volume (MCV) has been shown to predict the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We hypothesized that pretreatment MCV could predict prognosis. In analyzing 298 patients with ESCC, we found that the optimal cut-off for preoperative MCV was 95.6 fl. Multivariate analysis showed that high (> 95.6 fl) preoperative MCV was a negative prognostic factor, along with advanced stage, upper thoracic location and lower preoperative albumin, in patients with ESCC. Median overall survival was significantly longer in patients with low (≤ 95.6 fl) than high preoperative MCV (27.5 mo vs 19.5 mo, P < 0.001).
