Abstract

Patient"related factors, especially markers of inflammatory response, are prognostic in many common solid cancers. Here we review how such markers, in particular the acute"phase proteins C"reactive protein and albumin and a differential white cell count, can predict treatment outcomes in cancer patients. The review examines the literature pertaining to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy and discusses how inflammatory markers might be incorporated into the planning and monitoring of cancer treatments.
