Assessment of the Metabolic Mediators: Fatty Acid Synthase, Lactate Dehydrogenase and miR-181a as Potential Diagnostic Markers in Colorectal Cancer Patients
Abstract:Background: Cancer cells support their growth and invasion by rewiring their metabolism. Therefore our aim was to explore the value of some metabolic mediators such as serum Fatty Acid Synthase (FASN) level and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) activity as well as CEA, CA 19 -9 and plasma miR-181a levels as diagnostic markers and evaluating their relationship to the clin icopathological features in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. The association of fasting blood sugar (FBS) and triglyceride (TG) levels as risk fac… Show more
