Based on the logistic regression model, we propose the following algorithm which could be used as an aid for clinicians to manage patients that have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer and to assess the severity and tumour progression/activity by collecting a blood sample and measure Pro-C3 and C3M concentrations in serum: Tumour activity score = −4.96 + 0.16 × C3M + 0.07 × Pro-C3. The gene discussed is C3; the disease is colorectal cancer.
