## Abstract Protein kinase C (PKC) activity was measured in normalβappearing colonic mucosa from patients undergoing colonic resection. Comparisons were made between cases with and without colorectal cancers. PKC activity in cytosolic and particulate fractions was significantly reduced in patients

Background and Objectives: Expression of S100A4, a small calcium-binding protein, in breast, oesophagus and gall bladder cancers is shown to be associated with adverse clinical outcome. We retrospectively examined the correlation of S100A4 expression and outcome in patients with colorectal cancer. M
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Studies of cancer risk and molecular carcinogenesis suggest a role for inflammation in cancer development and progression. The authors sought to determine whether specific blood proteins associated with inflammation predict for outcomes in men with metastatic androgenβin
## Abstract We previously reported that a combination of serum hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was useful for selecting earlyβstage colorectal cancer patients with aggressive disease. The aim of the present study was to determine whether serum HGF could provide CEA
## Abstract Cβreactive protein is a sensitive but nonspecific systemic marker of inflammation. Several prospective studies have investigated the association of prediagnostic circulating Cβreactive protein concentrations with the development of colorectal cancer, but the results have been inconsiste
