Dickkopf1 (DKK1) and cytoskeleton-associated protein 4 (CKAP4) have been extensively studied as biomarkers in cancer patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Serum DKK1 and … Continue reading The clinical significance and diagnostic value of serum Dickkopf1 and CKAP4 levels in patients with gastric cancer: a prospective study
