Elevation in the level o f classical inflammatory markers such as fibrinogen [149-155], CRP [156-160], erythrocyte sedimentation rate [161], ferritin [162-165], neopterin [166-168], homocysteine [169,170], IL-6 [161,171], and free radical stress [172-175] have been well-documented in cancer patients, with numerous studies demonstrating that elevation is associated with poor survival. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is cancer.
