Colon cancer-associated DNA mutations: marker selection for the detection of proximal colon cancer.

Abstract excerpt

This study evaluates the potential ability of a specific panel of DNA mutations to identify right-sided colorectal carcinomas (CRCs) that would be missed by a flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS) screening program. This panel could then be applied to stool DNA analysis for noninvasive proximal CRC detection. A series of resected right-sided CRCs from 101 patients who had no left-sided advanced colonic neoplasms distal to...
