Key Words	Bilirubin; Colorectal neoplasms; Prognosis
Core Tip	We clarified that bilirubin levels may be used as a prognostic indicator in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Higher total bilirubin (TBIL) and unconjugated bilirubin levels were negatively correlated with 3-year survival in CRC patients. TBIL may be used as a protective prognostic indicator in patients with CRC.
