Prognostic Value of Prospective Longitudinal CRP to Albumin Ratio among Older Outpatients with Cancer

The prognostic value of the CRP to albumin ratio (CAR) among older adults with cancer is not known. Six hundred and three older outpatients with cancer and undergoing geriatric assessment before therapeutic decisions were prospectively recruited from the PF-EC cohort study. Serum albumin levels, ser...
