Objectives: To investigate the relationship between the fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) and colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), we measured the expression of FABP4 in plasma of 50 patients who underwent surgery for CRC from October 2017 to May 2018 and 50 healthy controls. The content of the visceral fat area (VFA) as seen with abdominal computed tomography (CT) scanning was measured by ImageJ software.
