Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to assess the association of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels with outcomes in 81 patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients with high serum CRP levels had lower therapeutic responses to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (43.8%), and shorter time to treatment failure (TTF; 5.8 months) and overall survival (OS;...
