A low-albumin concentration alone was not significantly associated with cancer-specific survival in bladder (P=0.913), gynaecological (P=0.737), prostate (P=0.500), gastroesophageal (P=0.893), renal (P=0.945), colorectal (P=0.133), head and neck (P=0.740) and hepatopancreaticobiliary (P=0.209) cancers. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and cancer.
