An optical fibre having a functionalised distal exploration end including a sheath, and a ferrule rigidly connected to the sheath at the distal exploration end, characterised in that the distal exploration end has a functionalised head which is removably attached on the ferrule. Also, a method of assembling the optical fibre.

The invention relates to the use of a lectin that recognizes the fucose &#x3b1; 1-2 galactose unit, as a first means for labeling and optionally a second means for labelling colorectal cancer stem cells, in particular a lectin that recognizes the T antigen, in order to carry out a method for the detection and optionally isolation of colorectal cancer stem cells, a method for the detection and optionally isolation of colorectal cancer stem cells for research purposes, and a method for the in vitro diagnosis of colorectal cancer recurrence risk and/or aggressiveness so as to define a prognostic value in order to make colorectal cancer therapy adjustments, as well as a kit comprising a lectin that recognizes the fucose &#x3b1; 1-2 galactose unit and a lectin that recognizes the T antigen.
