Abstract excerpt
The detection and removal of advanced colonic polyps (ACPs) can help prevent the development of colorectal cancer. A set of DNA mutations known to be associated with colorectal carcinoma was tested against resected ACPs to determine the set s potential utility as a marker panel for ACPs. A sensitive mutation marker panel could be used by stool-based assays that look for mutated human DNA to detect the presence of...
