ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting abnormal cell shedding rates of mature epithelial cells of a warm-blooded animal, such as the epithelial cells of the gastric or colonic glands. A labeling composition containing, e.g., a cyanine dye is applied to epithelial cells, following which the site is observed over time. Abnormal cell shedding rates are indicative of disease states such as carcinoma.
