  • Method of diagnosing colorectal adenomas and cancer using proton maggnetic resonance spectroscopy
    Publication number: 20030148260
    Abstract: One dimensional proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy of human stool can be used as non-invasive method of detecting the presence of colorectal cancer and/or clinically significant adenomas. The spectrum of a patient's stool is compared with that of stool from non-cancerous subjects, observed differences in spectra being indicative of cancer and/or clinically significant adenomas. In a preferred method, the stool sample is mixed with a buffer, the resulting suspension is centrifuged and the supernatant is subjected to magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
