In (a), is shown a receiver operating curve (ROC) for ability of a panel of molecular markers of carcinogenesis including p53, BCAT, MGMT, DNApcks, p21, Cox-2, and survivin to distinguish adenomas from high risk case patients with CRC from low risk control patients without CRC. The ROC demonstrates substantial predictive ability, AUC=0.83, 95% CI (0.74 -0.92). In (b), is shown a ROC for a parsimonious, 3 marker panel, with DNApkcs, MGMT, and p21 for prediction of case adenoma status. The ROC demonstrates substantial predictive ability, AUC=0.84, 95% CI: (0.74 – 0.92). BCAT, beta catenin; DNApkcs, DNA dependent protein kinase; MGMT, 0(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase.
