ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting the presence of neoplasia or cancer of the colon or rectum, which method comprises obtaining a sample of colorectal mucus from the rectum of a patient; treating the sample with Schiff's reagent and screening for neoplasia or cancer of the colon or rectum based upon the coloration produced in the sample by the treatment. The method is rapid, simple, inexpensive and provides a screening test for colorectal cancer which does not give a high percentage of false positive and false negative results. A screening test kit is provided.
