Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Colon cancer screening;
Studies on tissue samples have shown that NGAL expression increases in CRCs and inflammatory bowel diseases. This study is planned to investigate the usability of serum NGAL level as a diagnostic and/or prognostic biomarker, in patients with colorectal cancer. NGAL level was determined through serum samples. Blood was taken from each patient only once, before polypectomy (for the polip group) or surgery (for the cancer group).

Diagnosis / Prognosis
Comparator / control treatment
Standard treatment for colorectal cancer patients (Curative resection). Control group consist of healty individuals, so any treatment didn't aplly to them. Only blood samples were taken.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 291039 0
Diagnostic role of serum NGAL levels on colorectal cancer patients assessed with using Human NGAL/Lipocalin-2 ELISA kit. All colorectal cancer patients serum NGAL levels determined and compared with the other groups (benign colon polyps and healthy individual).
Timepoint [1] 291039 0
12 months after reciept of all blood samples.
Secondary outcome [1] 305875 0
Prognostic role of serum NGAL levels on colorectal cancer patients assessed with using Human NGAL/Lipocalin-2 ELISA kit. NGAL levels statistically evaluated according to the tumor diameter and amount of metastatic lymph nodes in patients with colorectal cancer.
Timepoint [1] 305875 0
12 months after reciept of all samples
