A new method effectively detects colorectal tumors using a Horseradish-peroxidase labeled peanut agglutinin test on rectal mucus. This diagnostic approach shows high sensitivity and specificity for identifying cancerous growths.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Gastroenterology
Biochemistry

Background:

Colorectal tumors pose a significant health burden, necessitating accurate and accessible diagnostic methods.
Early detection of colorectal tumors is crucial for improving patient outcomes and survival rates.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a novel method for the survey and detection of colorectal tumors.
To assess the diagnostic accuracy of the developed method in identifying colorectal neoplasms.

Main Methods:

Mucus samples were collected via digital rectal examination.
The mucus was applied to a slide and reacted with peanut agglutinin labeled by Horseradish-peroxidase.
A positive reaction was indicated by a distinct brown color change.

Main Results:

The developed method demonstrated a sensitivity of 88.2% in detecting colorectal tumors.
The specificity of the method was found to be 92.5% for colorectal tumor identification.
The visual detection of a brown color served as a positive indicator for tumor presence.

Conclusions:

The described method is effective for the survey of colorectal tumors in human patients.
This technique offers a promising tool for non-invasive colorectal cancer screening.
The high sensitivity and specificity suggest clinical utility in diagnosing colorectal neoplasms.
