Novel Blood-Based, Five-Gene Biomarker Set for the Detection of Colorectal Cancer
15 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We applied a unique method to identify genes expressed in whole blood that can serve as biomarkers to detect colorectal cancer (CRC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Total RNA was isolated from 211 blood samples (110 non-CRC, 101 CRC). Microarray and quantitative real-time PCR were used for biomarker screening and validation, respectively. RESULTS: From a set of 31 RNA samples (16 CRC, 15 controls), we selected 37...
