MicroSigX M3CRC Mechanism of Action

How MicroSigX M3CRC predicts risk of having colorectal cancer, adenoma and adenoma recurrence: MicroSigX M3CRC measures the levels of m3 (discovered by the Chinese University of Hong Kong) and the other 3 microbial markers plus hemoglobin in the stool. Using propriety algorithm, 3 risk indices are generated corresponding to colorectal adenoma, colorectal cancer and adenoma recurrence. Higher risk indices reflect higher risks of having colorectal adenoma, colorectal cancer and adenoma recurrence.
The advantages of MicroSigX M3CRC: The sensitivity of CRC is 94% comparable to colonoscopy and the specificity is 85%; sensitivity superior to currently available non-invasive test in detecting adenomas (especially small polyps). (See table and figure.)
