High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Levels and Cancer Mortality.

The article discusses research on the possible link between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels and cancer mortality among Korean participants. Regarded as a systemic inflammatory marker, elevated hs-CRP levels is said to be related to all-cause death risk. It reports experimental details which include calculation of inflammation-based prognostic scores such as neutrophil lymphocyte ratio and prognostic nutrition index. The mortality surveillance conducted is also noted.
