colorectal neoplasms/albumin

BACKGROUND Preoperative hypoalbuminemia is a well-known risk factor for anastomotic leakage after colorectal surgery, but the association between perioperative albumin level and anastomotic leakage has not been fully investigated in curative colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. METHODS In total, 200

The relationship between preoperative prealbumin and cancer survival has not been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between preoperative nutritional conditions, including prealbumin and albumin concentrations, and the risk of recurrence in cases with

Fecal albumin test was developed and the combined use of sequential occult blood test and albumin test (SA) was evaluated and compared with sequential fecal occult blood test (S) in 365 cases diagnosed clinically and pathologically and in 883 asymptomatic individuals. In the former group, the

OBJECTIVE Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in European populations. It has been shown previously that neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), pre-operative albumin, and haemoglobin are useful prognostic indicators. The aim of this study was to assess how these factors influence the

OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the alterations of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin levels in colorectal cancer patients who underwent preoperative radio(chemo)therapy and those who did not. METHODS The determinations of albumin and CRP were performed before and at 2, 3, 5 and 7 days after

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) that test positive for forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) and elevated preoperative serum albumin levels have been positively associated with survival in colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to investigate correlations among FOXP3+ TILs, preoperative serum albumin,

OBJECTIVE To study the distribution characteristics and the targeting feature of polyethylene glycol (PEG) modified 5-fluorouracil magnetic albumin microspheres (5-FU-MAMS) and 5-FU-MAMS in major organs of colorectal neoplasm nude mice under magnetic field, and to provide experimental evidence for

OBJECTIVE Critical illnesses are assessed according to the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II. Circulating ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is a biomarker generated under ischemic and oxidative conditions and may reflect disease

Patients with colorectal cancer undergoing elective surgery with resection of the tumour and primary anastomosis were randomly allocated into two groups. 29 patients received a total of 60-75 g of albumin postoperatively, 30 patients received no albumin and served as controls. The two groups were

BACKGROUND Screening for occult blood by means of guaiac tests has an unsatisfactory sensitivity for the detection of colorectal neoplasms. To increase sensitivity and specificity the immunological determination of human hemoglobin and albumin in feces has been developed. The validity of analyzing

In Germany, screening for colorectal cancer shows low efficiency, which is partly due to demographic changes with a rising mean age of the population, a low participation rate and an unsatisfactory sensitivity of guaiac tests for detecting faecal occult-blood. Therefore, a pilot screening study with

BACKGROUND With more than 940,000 new colorectal cancer cases worldwide each year, there is no better way for colorectal cancer routine screening. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the fatty acid binding to albumin is detectably and significantly altered in colorectal cancer patients

Bevacizumab (as other monoclonal antibodies) has now become a mainstay in the treatment of several cancers in spite of some limitations, including poor tumour penetration and the development of resistance mechanisms. Its nanoencapsulation may be an adequate strategy to minimize these problems. The

Various prognostic factors for survival have been identified in patients with colorectal cancer. However, although it has been suggested that the pre-treatment serum albumin concentration is a prognostic indicator in certain malignant diseases (melanoma, prostate cancer, leukaemia), its value in

The quantitative relationship between serum albumin level and surgical outcomes has not been clearly established. This study included 3732 patients with colon cancer who underwent a potentially curative colectomy. Post-operative mortality and morbidity were analysed according to the patients'
