For a model including the parameters history of venous thromboembolism, hemoglobin < LLN, platelets > ULN or < LLN, and CRP ≥ ULN (data for all co-variables available for 749 patients within the study cohort of 753 patients), history of venous thromboembolism, low hemoglobin and pathological platelet count were significantly associated with known cancer (Table 3). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and cancer.
