CRP and neoplasm: Among patients younger than 73 years old or patients with ASA-PS class II disease, Forest plots showed that non-type A patients who underwent hepatic resection had better RFS and OS than those who were type A. Among patients with serum C-reactive protein (CRP) < 0.1 mg/dL, Child-Pugh ≤ 6, tumor size ≤ 3.5 cm, solitary tumor, or negative portal vein invasion, RFS and OS were significantly better in the non-type A group than the type A group.
