An object of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting a colorectal tumor, and particularly advanced adenoma and early cancer, by using a component contained in stool as an indicator. Provided is a method for detecting colorectal tumor using a marker gene, comprising: (A) a step for extracting RNA contained in stool collected from a subject, (B) a step for measuring the amount of RNA derived from a marker gene present in the RNA obtained in step (A), and (C) a step for comparing the amount of RNA derived from the marker gene measured in step (B) with preset threshold values for each type of marker gene; wherein, the marker gene is creatine kinase B (CKB) gene. |
