Diagnostic accuracy in early stage versus late stage and proximal versus distal colorectal cancer. (A) Summary receiver operating characteristic curves (SROC) for early (n = 11) and late (n = 11) stage CRC. (B) SROC for proximal (n = 9) and distal (n = 9) CRC. The number next to the blue dot/red triangle corresponds to the study ID in Table 1. The circular regions (95% confidence contour) contain likely combinations of the mean value of sensitivity and specificity. Sen = sensitivity; Spe = specificity SOP, summary operating point. #Early stage CRC includes TMN stages 0 + I + II or Dukes’ stage A + B; late stage CRC includes CRC stages III + IV or Dukes’ stage C + D. Proximal CRC is defined as from cecum to transverse colon, and distal CRC is defined as from the splenic flexure to the rectum.
