Abstract
- This prospective study used antibody suspension bead arrays to identify biomarkers capable of predicting post-operative recurrence with distal metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer. One hundred colorectal cancer patients who underwent surgery were enrolled in this study. The median follow-up period was 3.9 years. The pre-operative plasma concentrations of 24 angiogenesis-related molecules were analyzed with regard to the TNM stage and the development of post-operative recurrence. The concentrations of half of the examined molecules (13/24) increased significantly according to the TNM stage (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, a multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the concentrations of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) were significantly higher in the post-operative recurrence group. The VCAM-1 and PAI-1 model discriminated post-operative recurrence with an area under the curve of 0.82, a sensitivity of 0.75, and a specificity of 0.73. A leave-one-out cross-validation was applied to the model to assess the prediction performance, and the result indicated that the cross-validated error rate was 12.5% (12/96). In conclusion, our results demonstrate that antibody suspension bead arrays are a powerful tool to screen biomarkers in the clinical setting, and the plasma levels of VCAM-1 and PAI-1 together may be a promising biomarker for predicting post-operative recurrence in patients with colorectal cancer.
