"[We conclude that (1) the CRC and its margin contain large amounts of progastrin and show gene expression of gastrin, CCK(B)-R, and COX-2; (2) removal of the CRC markedly reduces the plasma concentrations of progastrin; (3) the Hp infection rate is higher in CRC, and this may contribute to colorectal cancerogenesis via enhancement of progastrin and gastrin release; and (4) plasma progastrin concentrations might serve as a biomarker of CRC.].
