ROC curves for proteolytic enzymes, CEA and CA 19-9 in patients with colorectal cancer. The clinical relevance of cathepsin B (CATB), cathepsin L (CATL), urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), CEA and CA 19-9 was compared by establishing ROC curves. The ROC curves of PAI-1 and CATB were located closer to the theoretical 100% sensitivity and specificity values than the ROC curves of other investigated markers.
