Abstract:
Increasing evidence has proved that inflammation plays an extremely important role in tumorigenesis.As the most representative biomarker for inflammation,C-reactive protein (CRP) has been considered to be critically associated with the prognosis of a variety of malignant tumors,like renal cancer.Numerous studies have shown that CRP is a significant prognostic factor for renal cancer patients treated with surgery,cytokine therapy or molecular-targeted therapy,and CRP has been incorporated into some prognostic algorithms for renal cancer.
