Inflammatory Markers And Progression of Cancer

Sammprada Hospital14 Aug, 2024Health

One of the critical indicators of tumor progression is the cancer-associated systemic inflammatory response. It is important to identify cancer patients who are at risk of recurrence or poor prognosis using optimal biomarkers, as the clinical outcome could be improved by intensifying treatment. The commonly used inflammatory markers include C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and plasma viscosity (PV).
