Reflects systemic inflammation and nutrition.
When to use
Adjunct prognostic marker across many tumour types.
How it works
CRP ≤ 10 → 0; CRP > 10 with albumin ≥ 35 g/L → 1; CRP > 10 with albumin < 35 → 2.
Key points
- Reflects systemic inflammation and nutrition.
- Independently predicts cancer survival.
- Albumin expressed in g/L (35 g/L = 3.5 g/dL).

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| CRP | 15 mg/L |

| Albumin | 32 g/L |

- Interpretation:Poor prognosis
- Rule:CRP ≤ 10 → 0; CRP > 10 with albumin ≥ 35 → 1; CRP > 10 with albumin < 35 → 2.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What are the limits and cautions when using Modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS)?
- For licensed clinicians and clinical researchers. Interpret results with history, investigations and local protocols; not a diagnosis or prescription, and not a substitute for multidisciplinary decision-making or local guidelines.
- Does Modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
- How is Modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: CRP 15 mg/L, Albumin 32 g/L → Result: mGPS 2 /2(Interpretation: Poor prognosis, Rule: CRP ≤ 10 → 0; CRP > 10 with albumin ≥ 35 → 1; CRP > 10 with albumin < 35 → 2.)
