Dear Sir,
Thank you for the opportunity to reply the letter from Yasar et al. In their letter, Yasar et al., expressed concerns regarding the selection of the control group in our previous study (1). With regard to the first matter addressed i.e., that patients with benign diseases of the colon are more adequate controls than healthy subjects we do not agree for the following reasons.
From a clinical point of view it has little sense to compare cancer patients with patients with benign diseases.
