Identification of stage-dependent variation in gene panel values. (a) Comparison of the median value of normal, polyp, and early-stage and late-stage CRC patients in both Oct4 and CD26 panel and c-MYC and CXCR4 panel. (b) ROC analyses of Oct4 and CD26 panel for identification of early-stage CRC patients from normal and polyp patients (left) and late-stage CRC patients from normal, polyp, and early-stage CRC patients (right).
