Title:
METHOD FOR DETECTING COLORECTAL TUMOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/246533
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
To identify bacteria associated with multiple polyps or an intra-mucosa cancer and establish a novel colorectal tumor detection means based on these bacteria, a method for detecting a colorectal tumor is provided, the method being characterized by including the following steps (1) to (3): (1) a step for measuring an amount of microorganisms such as Actinomyces odontolyticus in the feces of a subject; (2) a step for comparing the value measured in step (1) with a corresponding value in the feces of a normal person; and (3) a step for determining, on the basis of the result of the comparison in step (2), that the subject has colorectal tumor when the value measured in step (1) is higher or lower than the corresponding value in the feces of the normal person.
