CRP and neoplasm: For a patient with typical Kin = 0.390 (mg·L−1)·h−1 (Table 2) and a ratio of TS to baseline TS of 1, a change in that ratio from 1 to 0.5 (i.e., 50% tumor shrinkage) would linearly decrease the TS-dependent Kin (Kin,TS) from 0.319 (mg·L−1)·h−1 to 0.160 (mg·L−1)·h−1, i.e., a 50% reduction in CRP production rate constant (Kin,TS = Kin·0.819·Tumor size (t)Baseline tumor size).
