What is this summary about? Here, we summarize the results from 'The diagnostic value of serum autotaxin level in colorectal cancer' study, published in Biomarkers in Medicine. This study examined a biomarker that could enable the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Autotaxin (ATX) plays a key role in inflammatory and neoplastic processes. In our study, serum ATX levels were measured in patients with colorectal cancer. What are the results? Serum ATX levels were higher in patients with colorectal cancer than in healthy volunteers. ATX levels were not associated with tumor stage. However, ATX levels were lower in mucinous adenocarcinomas. The ATX levels were higher in females than males. Although our study sample was small, we observed that ATX was more sensitive and specific than carcinoembryonic antigen in detecting colorectal cancer. What do these results mean? Serum ATX levels are promising biomarkers for colorectal cancer diagnosis and patient surveillance.
