Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
evaluation the diagnostic value of miRNAs as biomarkers of CRC by comparing its expression levels in CRC patients and normal individuals
use the results of measurement of certain serum miRNAs in persons with CRC and non-CRC individuals.
Secondary outcomes
assessment the correlation between miRNAs expression levels and clinicopathological features such as tumor stage, grade, and metastasis
use the results of measurement of certain serum miRNAs in persons with CRC and non-CRC individuals.
evaluation the sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy of miRNAs as standalone biomarkers
use the results of measurement of certain serum miRNAs in persons with CRC and non-CRC individuals.
