Abstract
The present invention relates to the diagnosis of colorectal cancer. It discloses the use of protein ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase-associated recruitment domain) in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer. It relates to a method for diagnosis of colorectal cancer from a liquid sample, derived from an individual by measuring ASC in said sample. Measurement of ASC can, e.g., be used in the early detection or diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
