Identification of potential metabolite markers for colon cancer and rectal cancer using serum metabolomics.

abstract：:Several retrospective studies have shown that a high level of microsatellite instability (MSI-H) is an important prognostic factor of a more favorable outcome in stage II and III colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. In this study, three commonly used polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based MSI analysis techniques were comp...
