C-reactive protein as an acute phase protein in cancer patients

Abstract: The aim of our study was to determine the rate of elevation of c-reactive protein in cancer patients and to evaluate its correlation with other acute phase proteins. A total of 104 patients with various types of cancer who admitted clinic were included in our study. Serum levels of c-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase, ferritin, haptoglobin, plasma fibrinogen levels and erythyrocyte sedimentation rate were measured. The serum levels of c-reactive protein was found to be increased in 74% of cancer patients… Show more

“…In the case of blood sample discrimination by cancer localization, special characteristics of a particular organ carcinogenesis should be taken into account. For instance, increased proteolysis and high concentration of acute phase proteins are characteristic of tumor carcinogenesis of several localizations . Moreover, tumor cells of a different nature are distinguished by high‐glucose consumption .…”

“…4 C-reactive protein and SAA have greater increases in concentration in human patients with metastasis of breast carcinoma 1,12,19 and in other neoplastic diseases. 2 Tumor dissemination is described as a series of complex biologic processes that move tumor cells from the primary neoplasm to distant locations. 20 Therefore, the increased concentrations of APPs observed in cases of metastasis could be due to the direct invasion and damage of tissues by neoplastic cells or due to inflammatory mediators released during this process.…”
