Mass Spectrometry Proteomics Characterization of Plasma Biomarkers for Colorectal Cancer Associated With Inflammation

Biomarker Insights
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) prognosis is determined by the disease stage with low survival rates for advanced stages. Current CRC screening programs are mainly using colonoscopy, limited by its invasiveness and high cost. Therefore, non-invasive,
