METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING COLORECTAL CANCER

摘要

The invention describes a method for assessing the risk of a subject of developing colorectal cancer and/or for diagnosing early stage colorectal cancer. It relies on detection of Enterobacterial manifestation in the colon by means of blood samples. Increased Enterobacterial manifestation in the colon in subjects compared to healthy control subjects is indicative of an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer.
