Association of elevated C-reactive protein with oncologic outcomes in renal CELL carcinoma: A multicenter analysis.

596Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a systemic inflammatory marker which has been associated with overall survival (OS) in Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) patients in Asia. Data supporting utility of CRP as a predictive marker in non-Asian populations are sparse and controversial. We analyzed utility of pre-treatment CRP as a predictor of survival and oncological outcomes in a multicenter cohort of RCC patients. Methods: Retrospective international 3 center analysis of patients of patients with RCC with pretreatment CRP values from 2006-2017. CRP > 0.5mg/dl was used as threshold for elevation and the cohort was subdivided into two groups for descriptive analysis (normal-CRP ≤0.5 and elevated-CRP > 0.5). Primary outcome was recurrence-free survival (RFS). Secondary outcome was overall survival (OS). Kaplan-Meier (KMA) and multivariable analyses (MVA) were utilized to delineate survival outcomes and their predictors. Results: Overall 2695 patients were analyzed (1791 Male/904 female, CRP≤0.5 1198/CRP > 0....
