Elevated preoperative C‐reactive protein is associated with renal functional decline and non‐cancer mortality in surgically treated renal cell carcinoma: analysis from the INternational Marker Consortium for Renal Cancer (INMARC)

Objective To investigate association of preoperative C‐reactive protein (CRP) and non‐cancer mortality (NCM) in a cohort of patients undergoing surgery for localised renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
