  1. CK18-Asp396 and total CK18 levels in plasma of colorectal cancer patients. Wilxocon signed-rank tests were used to compare paired observations. P ≤ 0.05 were considered significant, shown in bold. P1 = pre-operative plasma, P2 = post-operative plasma shortly after operation, and P3 = post-operative plasma longer after operation.
