Preoperative Serum C-reactive Protein Level in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Preoperative Serum C-reactive Protein Level in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

We evaluated the significance of the preoperative serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level as a prognostic indicator in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients and Methods: Two hundred and three patients who had undergone a curative resection of NSCLC were retrospectively reviewed. Re...

Zusammenfassung:We evaluated the significance of the preoperative serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level as a prognostic indicator in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients and Methods: Two hundred and three patients who had undergone a curative resection of NSCLC were retrospectively reviewed. Results: The proportion of the tumor size over 3 cm per patient in the CRP-positive group (≥0.5 mg/dL: n=38) was significantly higher than that in the CRP-negative group (
