VEGF overexpressed in the sera of the enrolled patients with colorectal cancer. a Total 34 pairs of clinical tissues from the enrolled patients were stained using methylene blue staining and distinguished by a pathologist. The healthy volunteers were not tested due to ethical issues, who had no evidence of known CRC. NT: non-tumor; T: tumor. Scale bar: 100 μm. b VEGF levels were increased in the sera of patients with colorectal cancer (n = 34) compared to that in healthy volunteers (n = 15). *p < 0.05
