Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequent cancers. Genetic mutations in CRC already described can be detected in feces. Microarray methods in feces can represent a new diagnostic tool for CRC and significant improvement at public health. to analyze stool DNA by human DNA quantify and micro...
