Abstract
Background:The value of C-reactive protein concentrations in the assessment of prognosis in patients with advanced lymphoma has not been clearly defined.Material/Methods:Patients with a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (n=108) and Hodgkin’s lymphoma, (n=39) and who had measurements of C-reactive protein were studied retrospectively and the data was reviewed over 8 years.Results:Median survival, from the time of sampling, was 7.4 months. On univariate analysis there was a significant relationship between the duration of cancer specific survival and tumour type (p
