Abstract

A method for distinguishing between carcinomatous and/or precarcinomatous colo-rectal disease and histologically similar conditions due to diseases that are not carcinomatous or precarcinomatous comprising contacting colo-rectal tissue with an antibody that binds to blood group substance H and determining the presence of carcinomatous or precarcinomatous disease upon a finding of bound antibody, or the absence of such disease upon the finding of no bound antibody.
