Abstract Objective To assess the prognostic and predictive ability of early C-reactive protein (CRP) kinetics, dynamic changes in CRP levels, in patients with advanced urothelial cancer treated with pembrolizumab. Patients and methods We retrospectively evaluated 97 patients with advanced urothelial cancer treated with pembrolizumab in second-line or later settings. Patients were divided into three early CRP kinetics groups: non-elevated (baseline CRP
