Abstract
Fecal bile acid values in 23 patients with colorectal cancer were shown to have diagnostic significance. Deoxycholic acid (DCA) and cholic acid (CA) were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method and the DCA:CA ratio was used for the pre- and postoperative comparison. The postoperative ratio was found to be lower than the preoperative ratio in every patient. This finding indicates the clinical usefulness of the DCA:CA ratio in monitoring the progress of colorectal cancer. This type of monitoring may be useful for screening patients for colorectal cancer in high-risk populations.
