...Ahmet Asfuroglu; Melih Balci; Yilmaz Aslan; Cagdas Senel; Ozer Guzel; Muhammed Fevzi Kilinckaya; Turan Turhan; Altug Tuncel Introduction: It was aimed to show the relationship between benign prostatic hyperplasia and inflammation by measuring urinary C-reactive protein values before and after alpha...

.... There is accumulating evidence on the influence of routine blood parameters. We aimed to identify reasonable and easy-to-detect biomarkers, such as preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) and hemoglobin (Hb) levels, as predictors of overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients undergoing RC...

...Charis Kalogirou; Philipp Mulfinger; Ioannis Sokolakis; Markus Krebs; Hubert Kübler; Hubertus Riedmiller; Daniel Vergho Purpose: To validate preoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) levels as a prognostic marker for survival in a metastasized renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patient cohort receiving...

...Cavit Can; Mustafa Fuat Acikalin; Ata Ozen; Emine Dundar Background: Elevated serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level has been demonstrated to predict poorer survival of both localized and metastatic renal cell carcinoma. However, the prognostic value of intratumoral CRP expression has not been...

... information than C-reactive protein (CRP) alone when assessing the systemic inflammation in cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the role of local and systemic inflammation in renal cancer. Methods: The cohort consisted of 79 patients who had undergone potential curative resection. Systemic...

...Peter A. McArdle; Tahir Qayyum; Donald C. McMillan Aim: To examine the prognostic value of circulating C-reactive protein concentrations at diagnosis in patients with organ-confined prostate cancer. Patients and Methods: Ninety-eight patients with histologically proven clinically localised prostate...

... with regard to tissue damage and inflammatory processes. Several studies have revealed that C-reactive protein (CRP) is a useful marker for tissue damage and inflammation. Thirty patients following primary ESWL in situ, with residual calculi, were randomized to retreatment with ESWL in situ or ESWL+push back...

... and that the systemic inflammatory response, as evidenced by an elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration, may be a useful prognostic factor. Materials and Methods: The prognostic value of CRP compared with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was examined in 62 patients with metastatic prostate cancer receiving...

... the pretreatment serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level and the efficacy of surgery. Results: Among the 8 patients with an elevated pretreatment serum CRP level (CRP ≧1.0 ng/ml), there was no significant difference of the median disease-specific survival between those who did (20.2 months) and did not undergo...
