Hemoglobin and transferrin positive rates among the 122 normal subjects and 51 colorectal cancer patients
| Cases, n | Hb, n (%) | Tf, n (%) | Hb+Tf, n (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 122 | 8 (6.56) | 7 (5.74) | 13 (10.66) |
| CRC | 51 | 45 (88.24) | 33 (64.71) | 48 (94.12)* |
Patients were subjected to two fecal sample tests, and the larger value was collected. Cutoffs were 100 ng/mL (10 µg/g feces) for hemoglobin (Hb), 25 ng/mL (2.5 µg/g feces) for transferrin (Tf).
P < 0.05.
