Background technique
Colorectal cancer, also known as colorectal cancer are a kind of common malignants tumor of digestive tract.Its disease incidence China year by year
It increases, in China, coastal area, part such as Shanghai and Guangzhou, incidence of colorectal has leapt to second, has been only second to lung cancer.Mesh
Before think intestinal cancer formation be genetic defect and epigenetic defect accumulation result.Colorectal cancer early stage incidence of occult, Chang Wu
Manifest symptom, advanced stage may occur in which the symptoms such as hematochezia, abdominal pain, diarrhea.And when occur symptom it is medical when often advanced stage, this is to disease
People brings greatly pain and expensive medical expense.Therefore early discovery, early diagnosis, early treatment are to reduce Colorectal Cancer
One important measures of rate and the death rate.
Screening can be with early detection intestinal cancer and precancerous lesion, and removes lesion, to prevent the generation of intestinal cancer.It is big at present
The screening method of intestinal cancer mainly has occult blood test and enteroscopy.Occult blood test exists vulnerable to food effect or detects to adenoma
The not high problem of rate.Though colonoscopy is intestinal cancer diagnosis goldstandard, Population's compliance is not high when using as screening means.Therefore
It is badly in need of the intestinal cancer screening method that a kind of accuracy is high, compliance is high.
Excrement genetic test is increasingly taken seriously now as a kind of new intestinal cancer screening method.This methodThe intestinal cancer screening guide in the U.S. was included in 2016.This method have it is convenient, noninvasive, to intestinal cancer and cancer
The features such as recall rate of preceding lesion adenoma is high.It does pairs of intestinal cancer and detects high performance excrement gene detecting kit, mainly need
Overcome two big obstacles: the extraction of faeces DNA and marker selection.On the one hand, complicated component in excrement, to downstream reaction
Mortifier is more, and there are many more DNA of bacteria, and the target gene of people is extracted from such mixture, needs a set of Gao Min's
Gene extracts and purification process;On the other hand, there are many current and relevant marker of intestinal cancer, especially DNA methylation mark
Object, because studies have shown that, DNA methylation is the earliest events that tumour is formed.But many methylation markers are in cell, tissue
Level is done well, and when for screenings media such as excrement, blood, is just lowered to the sensibility and specificity of intestinal cancer,
For example vimentin gene, sensibility in the tissue have 83%, 46% are just fallen below in stool sample, similar goes back
There are the genes such as SFRP1, SFRP2, such marker is unable to satisfy the demand for being really used for intestinal cancer clinical detection.Therefore, it selects
Having the marker of high detection sensitivity and specificity to intestinal cancer in excrement is the key that intestinal cancer excrement genetic test, and
Such marker is expected to really be used for the clinical detection of intestinal cancer.
