COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS OF COLORECTAL CANCER

摘要

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods and compositions related to the detection of colorectal cancer based upon the identification of biomarkers and combinations of biomarkers that indicate the present of colorectal cancer. One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for detecting colorectal cancer in a subject by obtaining a biological sample from the subject; detecting one or more biomarkers present in the sample; and comparing the concentrations and/or expression levels of the one or more biomarkers within the biological sample with the concentrations and/or expression levels of the one or more biomarkers in a normal control sample.
