Identification of a new protein biomarker for colorectal cancer diagnosis.
As one of the most common cancers, colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major public health issue worldwide. Thus, the identification of novel biomarkers to aid in the early diagnosis of CRC is crucial. The aim of the present study was to identify a novel protein biomarker for CRC, and to identify its structure. In this study, a total of 99 serum samples from 73 CRC patients and 26 healthy controls wer...
متن کاملA Pilot Study of CK19, CK20 and GCC mRNA in the Peripheral Blood as a Colorectal Cancer Biomarker Panel
Colorectal cancer remains one of the major cancer- related deaths despite progress in the treatment during past decades. Detection of disease at earlier stages reduces its mortality. The aim of current study was to investigate expression of Cytokeratin 19 (CK19), Cytokeratin 20 (CK20) and Guanylyl Cyclase C (GCC) mRNA in peripheral blood of non- metastatic colorectal cancer patients which may r...
متن کاملInvestigating the biomarker role of piRNAs in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer
Background & objectives: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common gastric cancer and third lethal cancer worldwide. Despite development in diagnostic and treatment methods, due to the lack of typical symptoms in the early stages, most patients are diagnosed in the end stages. Therefore, finding simple, inexpensive, highly sensitive and specific diagnostic methods for early detection and prog...
متن کاملEpigenetics in diagnosis of colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a third most common epithelial carcinoma. CRC is known to develop from the early precancerous lesion to full blown malignancy via definite phases due to cumulative mutations and aberrant methylation of number of genes. The use of serum biomarkers that is non-invasive to discriminate cancer patients from healthy persons will prove to be an important tool to improve the...
متن کاملInvestigation of MicroRNA-21 Expression Levels in Serum and Stool as a Potential Non-Invasive Biomarker for Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer
Background: Most cancer studies focus on exploring non-invasive biomarkers for cancer detection. In the present study, we sought to investigate the expression level of microRNA-21 (miR-21), as a potential diagnostic marker, in serum and stool samples from 40 patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and 40 healthy controls. Methods: Quantitative real-time RT-PCR was applied to determine the relativ...
