Cystol CA 19.9 expression in CRC can be an independent prognostic factor for relapse. Patients with high levels of CA 19.9 have worse prognosis than those with lower values. Therefore, this group of patients should receive special management with regard to their follow-up and treatment. Moreover, quantitative cytosol tumor marker measurement is an easy and highly effective method for determining the prognoses of CRC patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
