Abstract

The introduction of stage-independent prognostic markers may play a significant role in future selection for adjuvant treatment for early-stage colorectal cancer (CRC). The purpose of this study was to assess the combination of preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and plasma tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-1 as a prognostic index in patients with primary, curatively resected CRC.
