Abstract:
The present application discloses a diagnostic method and a kit for prognosis assessment of colorectal cancer (CRC) and a novel tumor suppressor gene to be used for diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC), the method comprising the steps of: (a) identifying recurrently altered regions (RAR) on a chromosome; and (b) detecting genomic alterations in the RAR. The present method makes it possible to perform early diagnosis as well as prognosis assessment for various cancers and tumors including colorectal cancer (CRC).
