A member asked:
My crp levels are mildly elevated. is that a sign of cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly likely not: A CRP can be a marker for inflammation. Although a CRP can be elevated with cancer, a CRP is very very non-specific. So it would be premature to jump to the conclusion that you have cancer.
