Cancer and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate

Many doctors, including oncologists, believe that to refer purely to the figure in the bark properly. Diagnosis is a multifaceted and very complicated process, and an increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, indicates in most cases the intensity of the inflammatory process, albeit an important one, but only 1 part of the picture opening before your doctor.
