Combination of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and matrix metalloproteinase-9 are biomarkers for the detection of colon tubular adenocarcinoma

Figure 4 The combination of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and matrix metalloproteinase-9 improved the accuracy of the diagnosis of tubular adenocarcinoma of the colon. Data are expressed as mean values ± SE, ^bP < 0.01, two-tailed Student’s t-tests. NGAL: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin; pro-GRP: Pro-gastrin-releasing peptide; MMP-9: Matrix metalloproteinase-9.
