A member asked:

Can a high creative protien have a relation to cancer or can it be coincidence i'm growing tumors and i have a crop of 15.6 docs suspect auto immune?

C-reactive: As a pathologist, I wish people wouldn't even order this. It's not sensitive, not specific, plenty of healthy people have it elevated, plenty of sick people have it low. I would ask the question, "how do you FEEL", and "is there a mass that needs to be biopsied"?
