Ezrin expression combined with MSI status in prognostication of stage II colorectal cancer

. . Slik K, Kurki S, Korpela T, Carpén O, Korkeila E, Sundström J. . PLoS One. 2017 Sep 27;12(9):e0185436. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0185436. 2017. Abstract Currently used factors predicting disease recurrence in stage II colorectal cancer patients are not optimal for risk stratification. Thus, new biomarkers are needed. In this study the applicability of ezrin protein …
