In the analysis of patients who received curative surgery for NSCLC, the following were significantly associated with prognosis in the univariate analysis: age (P<0.001), tumor-node-metastasis stage (P<0.001), albumin (P=0.029), serum CRP level (P=0.020), NLR (P=0.013), and PLR (P=0.001); however, bone marrow CT number (P=0.233) was not. Here, CRP is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
