<p>Disclosed is a method for detecting colorectal tumor, particularly advanced adenoma and early cancer, in which a component contained in feces is employed as a measure. Specifically disclosed is a colorectal tumor detection method using a marker gene, which comprises the steps of (A) extracting RNA from feces collected from a subject, (B) measuring the amount of RNA derived from the marker gene contained in the RNA that has been obtained in step (A), and (C) comparing the amount of the RNA derived from the marker gene which has been measured in step (B) with a threshold value that has been determined previously depending on the type of the marker gene, and which is characterized in that the marker gene is CKB (creatine kinase B) gene.</p> |
