The aim of this study was to examine the prognostic value of the alpha-L-fucosidase enzyme to determine whether it can help in the early recognition of colorectal cancer cases at high risk of tumor recurrence. One hundred and twenty-three colorectal carcinoma patients treated by curative surgery wer...
