Furthermore, in our study, according to univariate Cox regression, both GPS (>zero vs. zero) and CRP concentrations (>10 vs. ≤10 mg/dL) were shown to have predictive value with regard to all-cause mortality in lung cancer patients, increasing the risk of all-cause mortality in lung cancer patients by 59 and 55%, respectively. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is lung carcinoma.
