A member asked:
Should i dismiss my cancer fears because my crp is 0.10? i have periodontal disease and gallstones. why isn't crp high? no cancer at this level? 26/f

CRP: This is a very non-specific test for the presence of systemic inflammation. Neither of the conditions you name is likely to result in CRP elevations. Your cancer fears need psychological counselling, not more medical tests if you have been evaluated by a competent doctor and found without obvious problems.

CRP: CRP is related to inflammation, not cancer.

Irrelevant: Periodontal disease is considered to be an inflammatory condition and and therefore an important factor in CPR levels. Inflammation is capable of elevating CRP levels. Nothing to do with cancer.
