  1. Sensitivity and specificity values of cathepsin B, cathepsin L, urokinase-type plasminogen activator, plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1, CEA and CA 19-9 during multiparametric tumor marker analysis in colorectal cancer (n = 56)
  2. CATB: cathepsin B; CATL: cathepsin L; uPA: urokinase-type plasminogen activator, PAI-1: plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1; CEA: carcinoembryonic antigen; CA 19-9: carbohydrate antigen 19-9;
  3. Both: both markers correctly positive or negative; All: all three markers correctly positive or negative; Either: one of two/or three markers correctly positive or negative
