Abstract

We developed and evaluated the clinical utility of a panel of blood cytokines for detecting colon cancer. The panel was developed using a case-control study using multiplexed analysis of cytokines. ROC analyses of select cytokines, including G-CSF, TNF-alpha and IL-9, indicated potential utility as biomarkers to detecting colon cancer.
