A two-tiered targeted proteomics approach to identify pre-diagnostic biomarkers of colorectal cancer risk

Abstract Colorectal cancer prognosis is dependent on stage, and measures to improve early detection are urgently needed. Using prospectively collected plasma samples from the population-based Northern Sweden Health and Disease Study, we evaluated protein biomarkers in relation to colorectal cancer r...
