Increased serum levels of tumour-associated trypsin inhibitor independently predict a poor prognosis in colorectal cancer patients.
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: There is an insufficient number of reliable prognostic and response predictive biomarkers in colorectal cancer (CRC) management. In a previous study, we found that high tumour tissue expression of tumour-associated trypsin inhibitor (TATI) correlated with liver metastasis and an impaired prognosis in CRC. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic validity of ser
