      • The median plasma CRP concentration was 1.53 mg/L (IQR, 1.14-2.51) and 34% of the participants had circulating CRP levels of ≥2 mg/L. Epidemiologic studies suggest that in patients with several types of solid cancers, elevated circulating levels of CRP are associated with poor prognosis, whereas in apparently healthy individuals from the general population, elevated levels of CRP are associated with increased future risk of cancer of any type, lung cancer, and possibly colorectal cancer, but not...
  1. Nov 19, 2020 · This report focuses on innate immunity and the acute phase response (APR) to cancerous growth. More specifically, it provides a new perspective on the diagnostic and therapeutic value of the prototypic acute phase reactant, C-reactive protein (CRP), and cancer.

  3. High sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), tumoral CRP and CRP kinetics have also been utilized for disease progression and prognosis. Increased hs-CRP has been associated with late recurrence in renal cell carcinoma [ 119 ] and with increased mortality in breast cancer [ 79 ] and in men with lung cancer [ 118 ].

  4. Apr 24, 2019 · Sensitivities for cancer were 46.1% for CRP, 43.6% ESR and 49.7% for PV. Cancer should be considered in patients with raised inflammatory markers.

  5. The robust association between circulating levels of CRP and cancer risk may be due to (1) causality: elevated CRP levels cause cancer, (2) reverse causality: occult cancer increases CRP levels, (3) or confounding: a third factor, e.g. inflammation, increases both CRP levels and the risk of cancer.

  6. Aug 23, 2018 · Prognostication in cancer is challenging and inaccurate. C-Reactive Protein (CRP), a cheap and sensitive marker of inflammation may help. This study investigated the relationship between CRP and prognosis in a large cohort of solid tumors with mixed cancer diagnoses and stages.

  7. Dec 22, 2022 · Results for an hs-CRP test are usually given as follows: Lower risk of heart disease: Less than 2.0 mg/L; Higher risk of heart disease: Equal to or greater than 2.0 mg/L; A person's CRP levels vary over time. A coronary artery disease risk assessment should be based on the average of two hs-CRP tests. It's best if they're taken two weeks apart.

  8. Nov 19, 2020 · C-reactive protein (CRP) is a predominant protein of the acute phase response; its blood levels have long been used as a minimally invasive index of any ongoing inflammatory response, including that occurring in cancer. Its diagnostic significance in assessing disease progression or remission, however, remains undefined.
