NCT ID NCT07414082
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to see if measuring two proteins in the blood, Talin-1 and Cripto-1, can help diagnose colorectal cancer. Researchers will compare these levels in 70 newly diagnosed patients and healthy people. The goal is to find a simpler, more accurate way to detect the disease.
