The present disclosure describes techniques used for colorectal cancer detection. Position and distribution of colorectal cancer tumor are detected through nuclear imaging. Alternatively, stage of colorectal cancer is identified by shading value in tumor. Thus, the present disclosure provides a safe and noninvasive clinical method for diagnosing and tracing level and distribution of colorectal cancer before and after treatment.

Human neutrophil peptide (HNP) 1-3, used as diagnostic and therapeutic molecular probes, are found in clinical tissues of gastric cancer patients. In the analytical process according to the present disclosure, pairs of gastric cancer tissues are used to seek the putative biomarkers by proteomic strategy based on matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS). Then, three differential biomarkers, including HNP-1, -2 and -3, are identified (P&#x3c;0.001) and overexpressed in gastric cancer. At last, western blotting and immunohistochemistry are used to validate the protein expression in gastric cancer tissues. In conclusion, the use of the up-regulated proteins, HNP1-3, helps diagnosis and therapy in clinical for gastric cancer after validating the sensitivity and specificity.

The invention discloses one glyco-molecular imaging method for grade classification of liver fibrosis and its glyco-molecular imaging agent. The agent combining with glyco-molecular imaging method for liver targeting could be used to differentiate the grade of liver fibrosis and follow-up evaluation of the therapeutic effect.
