CRP and neoplasm: However, post-treatment CRP was no longer connected with OS (HR = 1.76, 95% CI 0.48–6.41, p = 0.393), but still significantly linked to PFS (HR = 4.83, 95% CI 1.28–18.25, p = 0.020), when controlling for the covariates of age, gender, ECOG PS, CCI, tumor pathologic type, T-stage, smoking status, and BED10.
