Abstract
A method for the in vitro diagnosis of colorectal cancer by determining the presence of the Ezrin tumor marker in a biological sample taken from a patient suspected of having colorectal cancer using at least one anti-Ezrin monoclonal antibody directed against an Ezrin epitope chosen from the epitopes of sequence SEQ ID No.1, SEQ ID No.2, SEQ ID No.3, SEQ ID No.4+SEQ ID No.5, SEQ ID No.6+SEQ ID No.7 and SEQ ID No.8. Said method can be used for early diagnosis, screening, therapeutic follow-up and prognosis, and also for relapse diagnosis in relation to colorectal cancer.
