[The behavior of C-reactive protein in tumor patients]

Within a standardized therapy programme in 110 tumour patients the concentrations of CRP were investigated in order to allow an estimation of the prognostic value of this parameter. In the group of patients with a bad prognosis under clinical aspects the concentrations of CRP were clearly above the range of reference throughout the period of therapy, whereas the group with a good clinical prognosis showed a continuous falling of the concentrations.
