Contrary to the aforementioned findings, correlations between SUVmean and maximal tumor diameter in CT (r = 0.165, p = 0.474), Ki67 index (r = 0.08, p = 0.728), CRP concentration (r = 0.138, p = 0.549) and glucose levels (r = 0.253, p = 0.268) were weak and insignificant. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is neoplasm.
