CRP and nasopharyngeal carcinoma: The purpose of our study was to assess the utility of the recently introduced CARWL index, which integrates the C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) and significant weight loss (SWL), in predicting the risk of ORN in patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer (LA-NPC) undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).
