Abstract:
In a group of patients with colorectal carcinoma and a control group the problem was investigated whether or not the 2-hour-value of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate yields additional information. The 2-h-rate of ESR turns out to have a higher sensitivity than the 1-h-value. One should, therefore, continue to measure both the 1-h- and 2-h-value of ESR.
