  • Title: The relationship between the systemic inflammatory response and survival in patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder.
    Author: Hilmy M, Bartlett JM, Underwood MA, McMillan DC.
    Journal: Br J Cancer; 2005 Feb 28; 92(4):625-7. PubMed ID: 15726119.
    Abstract:
    The relationship between tumour stage, grade, elevated C-reactive protein concentration (<10/>10 mg l(-1)), adjuvant therapy and survival was examined in patients with biopsy proven bladder cancer (n=105). On multivariate analysis stage (HR 3.37, 95% CI 1.37-8.29, P=0.008), grade (HR 2.01, 95% CI 1.14-3.57, P=0.017) and preoperative C-reactive protein (HR 3.31, 95% CI 1.09-10.09, P=0.035) were independently associated with cancer-specific survival.
