Abstract Objective: Schistosomal infestation has been implicated in the etiology of several human malignancies including colorectal cancer (CRC). While sufficient evidence supports a relationship between S. japonicum species and CRC, the evidence linking S. mansoni to CRC occurrence is meager. Therefore, the object of the present study is to evaluate certain biochemical parameters as diagnostic tools to differentiate between colonic carcinoma and colonic carcinoma associated with S. mansoni infection among Egyptian patients. Design and Methods: Patients with intestinal shistosomiasis, colonic cancer and bilharzial colonic cancer were enrolled in this study. The parameters under investigation are intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular adhesion molecule-1 (VACM-1), endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (E-selectin), fibronectin (FN), alpha fetoprotein, IL-10 and nitric oxide (NO). Results: The results revealed significant increase (P Keywords: [Full Text Article] [Download Certificate] |
