Blood clot protein may reveal Cancer's next move
NCT ID NCT02304978
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a protein called tissue factor (TF) in the blood can help predict how serious colorectal cancer is and if it might come back. Researchers measured TF levels in 26 adults before and after surgery to remove their tumors. The goal was to see if higher TF levels are linked to more aggressive cancer and if levels drop after successful surgery.
