Core Tip

Core Tip: The combination of Peripheral blood UL16-binding protein 2 (ULBP2) and human fibrinogen degradation products (DR-70) can obviously improve the diagnostic value of early colorectal cancer (CRC), which is very important for the early diagnosis and treatment of CRC. This study confirmed the diagnostic value of serum ULBP2 and DR-70 levels in early CRC patients by observing their serum ULBP2 and DR-70 levels.
