Adipocytokine levels associate with colorectal neoplasia; hypothesis-generating for biomarker roles, should not yet change practice.
Are blood levels of adipocytokines associated with the presence and progression of colorectal cancer and adenoma?
Resistin and visfatin may serve as biomarkers for colorectal malignant potential and stage progression, while adiponectin may be a biomarker for colorectal adenoma.
