Measuring the combinatorial expression of solute transporters and metalloproteinases transcripts in colorectal cancer

Abstract

Conclusion: A combinatorial analysis technique is an effective method for both furthering our understanding on the molecular basis of some aspects of CRC, as well as for leveraging well defined cancer-related gene sets to identify cancer. In this instance, the combination of MMP-7 and SLC5A8 were optimal for identifying CRC.
