METHOD FOR DETECTING COLON CANCER

摘要

A method for detecting a colorectal cancer, including the steps of measuring an amount of exosomes expressing CD 147 in a body fluid sample derived from a test individual with an anti-CD 147 monoclonal antibody or a fragment thereof; and comparing a signal intensity of exosomes in the step with a signal intensity in a control individual, wherein a case where the signal intensity in the test individual is found to be stronger than the signal intensity in the control individual serves as an index of the presence of the colorectal cancer. According to the method of the present invention, whether or not a sample provider has a high possibility of developing a colorectal cancer can be judged. Therefore, the method is useful because the sample provider can take a means of inhibiting the progression of cancer.
