Untargeted GC-MS-Based Metabolomics for Early Detection of Colorectal Cancer

BackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant gastrointestinal cancers in the world with a 5-year survival rate of approximately 68%. Although researchers accumulated many scientific studies, its pathogenesis remains unclear yet. Detecting and removing these malignant polyps...
