What is the Prognostic Value of Serum Ferritin in Cancer Patients?
Elevated serum ferritin levels can have prognostic significance in cancer patients. High levels of ferritin have been associated with poorer outcomes in some cancers. For example, in non-Hodgkin lymphoma, elevated ferritin levels have been linked to a worse prognosis and higher tumor burden. Monitoring ferritin levels over time can also help assess the effectiveness of treatment and disease progression.
