The clinical and prognostic significance of C-reactive protein (CRP) in nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains inconsistent. To clarify a precise determinant of the clinical significance of CRP, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the overall risk of elevated CRP for survival in NSCLC.
