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.
A method of detecting the presence of colorectal adenomas and colorectal cancer in a patient comprising the steps of subjecting a stool sample from the patient to one-dimensional proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy;
A method of detecting the presence of colorectal adenomas and colorectal cancer in a patient comprising the steps of collecting a sample of the patient's stool;
A method of detecting the presence of colorectal adenomas and colorectal cancer in a patient comprising the step of mixing a stool sample from the patient with a buffer to form a suspension;
