Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Current stool DNA tests identify about half of individuals with colorectal cancers and miss most individuals with advanced adenomas. We developed a digital melt curve (DMC) assay to quantify low-abundance mutations in stool samples for detection of colorectal neoplasms and compared this test with other approaches. METHODS: We combined a melt curve assay with digital polymerase chain reaction...
