Abstract
The liberated domain I of the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor [uPAR(I)] is a significant prognostic marker in lung and ovarian cancer, although the uPAR(I) concentration is below the limit of quantification (LOQ) in a substantial proportion of patient samples (Lung Cancer 2005;48:349-55; Clin Cancer Res 2008;14:5785-93; APMIS 2009;117:755-61). This study was undertaken to design an immunoassay with improved functional sensitivity for measuring uPAR(I) and to evaluate the prognostic value of uPAR(I) for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.
