Abstract
<p><b>Background</b> The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between Ki-67, C-reactive protein and cancer-specific survival in patients undergoing resection for colorectal cancer.</p> <p><b>Method</b> One hundred and forty-seven patients undergoing potentially curative resection for colorectal cancer had preoperative C-reactive protein concentrations and tumour Ki-67 labelling index measured.</p> <p><b>Results</b> On univariate analysis, age (P < 0.001), Dukes stage (P < 0.001), C-reactive protein (P < 0.001) and expression of Ki-67 (< 0.01) were associated with poorer cancer-specific survival. Ki-67 labelling index and C-reactive protein were correlated (rs = 0.172, P = 0.037). On multivariate analysis, age (HR 1.96, 95% CI 1.26–3.04, P = 0.003), Dukes stage (HR 4.38, 95% CI 2.11–9.09, P < 0.001) and C-reactive protein (HR 4.09, 95% CI 2.04–8.24, P < 0.001) retained significance.</p> <p><b>Conclusion</b> Increased tumour proliferation is associated with a systemic inflammatory response and poor cancer-specific survival in patients undergoing potentially curative surgery for colorectal cancer.</p>
