Abstrakt: This document summarizes a study on the diagnostic value of Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) in detecting colorectal cancer (CRC). The study found that Fn showed a sensitivity range of 0.54-0.91 and a specificity range of 0.53-0.92 in detecting CRC. The study suggests that Fn may have a positive correlation with CRC and could be a valuable tool for early diagnosis. However, the study acknowledges limitations such as the potential impact of different cutoff values and the relatively small sample size of some studies. [Extracted from the article]
