Invention Referene: 10/MED/349
This technology relates to methods of detecting the presence of specific RNA sequences in a biological sample for diagnosing or providing a prognosis for colon cancer (CRC).
AdvantagesEarly detection and removal of adenoma has been shown to reduce the incidence and mortality of CRC. Colonoscopy remains to be the gold standard for detecting CRC and pre-malignant adenomas. However, this procedure is costly, labor intensive and uncomfortable. This technology provides a non-invasive means for detecting CRC.
