Two types of proteins help predict colon cancer

Chinese scientists have found two proteins in the excretion of colon cancer cells, which can help predict the spread of colon cancer accurately.

It is known that colon cancer is one of the most common types of melanoma. Currently, metastasis is one of the most important causes of colon cancer, and the disease is more difficult to predict, and in particular there is no substance used as a target to predict migration base of this disease.

Techniques such as colonoscopy, imaging studies, and antigen assays in the blood of people with cancer (CEA) have technical limitations, which are difficult to provide references and reviews Accurate price of surgery.

According to scientists, in the process of studying comparative protein comparison in the excretion of initial cancer cells and metastatic cancer cells from lymph nodes of the same patient, scientists have discovered, the concentration of protein in metastatic cells is significantly higher than in the original cancer cell.

After comparing the analysis of 144 subjects with colon cancer with 156 subjects without the disease, the scientists discovered the two new proteins. This finding may help to accurately predict the sensitivity and metastatic characteristics of colon cancer.

If further scaling up of clinical trials, predicting colon cancer metastasis may continue to be done by conducting blood tests and testing these two proteins.
