dc.description.abstract	Objective: To assess the increased frequency of serum C-peptide levels in patients of colorectal carcinoma. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Jul 2018 to Jan 2019. Methodology: A total of 100 cases of colorectal carcinoma were enrolled. Blood samples were obtained to assess C-peptide level. The C-peptide serum concentrations were deliberate through the Cobas 6000 by using the electro-chemi-luminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) method. If level of C-peptide was >2 pmol/mL, then it was noted. Results: The mean age of all patients was 58.3 ± 5.4 years. There was a total of 136 (68%) females and 64 (32%) were males. The mean BMI of patients was 28.96 ± 12.31 kg/m2. The family history of colorectal carcinoma was positive in 6 (6%) cases. The mean C-peptide level was 4.55 ± 2.37 pmol/L. There were 33 (33%) patients with raised C-peptide level while 67 (67%) had normal c-peptide level. Conclusion: It is concluded that increased C-peptide level is high in patients with colorectal cancer.	en_US
