Pretreatment C-reactive protein to albumin ratio for predicting overall survival in advanced pancreatic cancer patients
Abstract Although previous studies demonstrated that elevated C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) predicted poor prognosis in various solid tumors, little was known about the prognostic value of CAR in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer (APC). The aim of the present study was to assess C...
