Preoperative Serum Alpha-<i>L</i>-Fucosidase Activity as a Prognostic Marker in Colorectal Cancer

Abstract

According to our findings, serum AFU activity appears to be a good prognostic factor of tumour recurrence in colorectal carcinoma. Furthermore, patients in Dukes' stage B or C at high or very high risk of tumour recurrence could be spotted.
