Abstract:
Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were determined by enzyme immunoassay in 56 patients with invasive carcinoma of the cervix, 34 patients with cervical dysplasia and 24 women with no evidence of cervical pathology. The logarithmic CRP values were significantly higher in patients with invasive carcinoma when compared with the controls (p less than 0.05). Measurement of serum CRP in cancer patients grouped according to their clinical stages failed to reveal any relationship with the extent of the disease.
