  1. CRC colorectal carcinoma. GP general population. Serum concentration values are expressed in mg/dL. SD standard deviation.
  2. P-value A*: from the comparison of mean values of serum AAT in the control and CRC groups, and between the mean AAT in the control group and the partial AAT value for each TNM subgroup.
  3. P-value B**: from the comparison of the mean value of the whole CRC group and each CRC stage (I- IV).
