ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a sensitive test for objectively diagnosing the presence of cancerous cells in samples of human tissue, fluids, or semi-fluids, such as feces. The detection method employs the detection of transcripts for stromelysin-3 in human cells. A reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction is utilized so that cancer can be detected in very small samples.
