When to use
Adjunct prognostic marker across many tumour types.
How it works
CRP ≤ 10 → 0; CRP > 10 with albumin ≥ 35 g/L → 1; CRP > 10 with albumin < 35 → 2.
Key points
- Reflects systemic inflammation and nutrition.
- Independently predicts cancer survival.
- Albumin expressed in g/L (35 g/L = 3.5 g/dL).

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| CRP | 15 mg/L |
|---|---|
| Albumin | 32 g/L |

- Interpretation：Poor prognosis
- Rule：CRP ≤ 10 → 0; CRP > 10 with albumin ≥ 35 → 1; CRP > 10 with albumin < 35 → 2.
