Identification Of Biomarkers For Colorectal Cancer From Malaysian Patients

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is on the rise. However, biomarkers for indication of CRC progression is still lacking despite several advances in proteomic and microarray tools. This study aims to identify potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of CRC among Malaysian patients. In this study, sequential...
