Brief Answer:
These results suggest inflammation
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
CRP and ESR are non-specific markers and most commonly denote inflammation. You have mentioned having some inflammation recently. So more likely, this is some inflammation.
MPV is only slightly high and does not denote cancer.
Overall, I feel that there's nothing to worry about.
Hope this helps.
Regards
