Colorectal cancer is one of the most frequent causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Thus, there is a need for timely diagnosis and effective treatment. Our aim in the present study was to detect the serum level of trefoil factor 3 protein and evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of trefoil factor 3 in patients with colorectal cancer. We collected serum samples from 204 participants (127 patients with colorectal cancer, 35 patients with polyps, and 42 healthy controls). The levels of serum trefoil factor 3 and carcinoembryonic antigen expression were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted to calculate the diagnostic accuracy of trefoil factor 3 in patients with colorectal cancer. The serum levels of trefoil factor 3 in patients with colorectal cancer (6.66 ± 2.4 ng/mL; P < .00l) and polyps (3.86 ± 1.3 ng/mL; P < .00l) were significantly increased compared to healthy controls (2.09 ± 1.0 ng/mL). Moreover, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for trefoil factor 3 was greater than carcinoembryonic antigen (0.889 vs 0.715). At a cutoff value of 5.591 ng/mL, the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratio of serum trefoil factor 3 for colorectal cancer was 74.2%, 94.8%, and 14.25, respectively. Furthermore, the serum trefoil factor 3 levels in early colorectal cancer (TNM stage I, 3.67 ± 1.27 ng/mL) were significantly increased compared to healthy controls ( P < .001); however, there was no significant difference compared to patients with polyps ( P = .576). We observed that the serum trefoil factor 3 levels decreased after surgery (6.66 ± 2.4 vs 4.48 ± 1.80 ng/mL; P < .001). In addition, high serum trefoil factor 3 levels were associated with poor tumor differentiation and clinical TNM stage ( P < .05). In conclusion, serum trefoil factor 3 is a promising biomarker for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer and prognosis of patients.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is ranked as the second most commonly diagnosed disease in females and the third in males worldwide. Therefore, the finding of new more reliable biomarkers for early diagnosis, for prediction of metastasis, and resistance to conventional therapies is an important challenge in overcoming the disease. The current review presents circular RNAs (circRNAs) with their unique features as potential prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers in CRC. The review highlights the mechanism of action and the role of circRNAs with oncogenic functions in the CRC as well as the association between their expression and clinicopathological characteristics of CRC patients. The comprehension of the role of oncogenic circRNAs in CRC pathogenesis is growing rapidly and the next step is using them as suitable new drug targets in the personalized treatment of CRC patients.
