1 An increased CRP level was significantly associated with shorter CSS (p < 0.001, log-rank test), as well as with shorter OS (p < 0.001, log-rank test) and loco-regional control (p = 0.001, log-rank test). thiocysteine C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
2 In addition, multivariate analysis identified CRP as an independent predictor for CSS (hazard ratio (HR) 1.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.08-2.35; p = 0.020) as well as for OS (HR 1.62, 95%CI 1.17-2.24; p = 0.004) and LC (HR 1.50, 95%CI 1.06-2.14; p = 0.023). thiocysteine C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
3 In subgroup analysis, Kaplan Meier curves revealed that an elevated pre-treatment CRP level was a consistent prognostic factor for poor CSS (p = 0.003, log-rank test), OS (p = 0.001, log-rank test), and LC (p = 0.028, log-rank test) in patients treated with definitive (chemo-) radiotherapy, whereas a significant association in patients undergoing surgery and postoperative radiotherapy was not detected. thiocysteine C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
4 The pre-treatment CRP level seems to represent a prognostic factor for CSS, OS, and LC in patients with oral and oropharyngeal cancer, particularly in those treated with definitive (chemo-) radiotherapy. thiocysteine C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
