CRP and neoplasm: Multivariable analysis showed that CRP/Alb (Hazard Ratio (HR) 1.330, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.131–1.564, p = 0.001), tumor stage (HR 1.577, 95% CI 1.189–2.091, p = 0.002), residual tumor (HR 2.337, 95% CI 1.518–3.597, p < 0.001) and age (HR 1.017, 95% CI 1.000–1.035, p = 0.046) were independent prognostic factors for overall survival.
