Abstract
Purpose: Elevations in C-reactive protein (CRP) levels predict metastasis and mortality in a number of malignancies. However, the impact of non-malignant factors on CRP levels in patients with cancer remains unknown. To address this issue, we conducted an investigation of the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP) cohort. Methods: NSHAP participants with a history of malignancy were included. The 222-participant cohort was subdivided by CRP levels into low-risk (CRP
