Use of an endoplasmin fragment and derivative thereof as a biomarker for colorectal adenoma and / or colorectal carcinoma; detection method and assay system.

摘要

A method for detecting colorectal adenoma and / or colorectal carcinoma or a method for discriminating between colorectal adenoma and colorectal carcinoma or a method for monitoring the development and / or progression and / or treatment of colorectal adenoma and / or colorectal carcinoma comprising the steps: a) providing an isolated sample material which has been taken from an individual, b) determining the level of a fragment endoplasmin in said isolated sample material, c) comparing the determined level of a fragment endoplasmin with one or more reference values, wherein the endoplasmin fragment has a molecular weight of 10 to 14 kDa.
