Stool immunoassay for identification of colorectal cancer and other significant gastrointestinal diseases risk groups by N. S. Sergeeva, Nina V. Marshutina, Ye. V. Zenkina

“…Close correlation between hHb and hHb/Hp indicates that these tests are interchangeable for CRC diagnostics. fTu M2-PK sensitivity was 79.2% for CRC, 68.3% - for UC, 51.2% - for SC and fTu M2-PK-specificity was 94.7% as compared to donors. If elevation of at least one marker in a pair (hHb and fTu M2-PK) will be considered as positivity of the test overall, the sensitivity of laboratory testing rises for CRC to 95.0%, for UC - to 83.6% and for SC - to 69.0% at specificity of 91.3%. …”
