Geometric mean values of serum CRP levels did not significantly differ between colorectal cancer cases (0.43 mg/L; ranges of 25% and 75%: 0.20-110mg/L, n = 141) and controls (0.45 mg/L; ranges: 0.20-1.03mg/L, n = 327), and also did not significantly differ between incident cases (0.37mg/L; ranges: 0.20-1.05mg/L, n = 104) and controls (0.45mg/L; ranges: 0.19-1.03 mg/L, n = 251). Here, CRP is linked to colorectal cancer.
