It's a very broad question ..meaning esr is non specific ..it can elevate in hundreds of conditions ranging from infection to cancer ..esr can't diagnose and cant rule out cancer ...

Esr increases in cancer.but just because early is elevated it doesn't mean someone has cancer.esr can be elevated in many other non cancerous conditions as well.similarly normal esr does not rule out cancer
