The present invention provides methods for preparing a stool sample in order to screen for the presence of indicators of a disease, for example a subpopulation of cancerous or precancerous cells. The methods take advantage of the recognition that cellular debris from cancerous and precancerous cells is deposited onto only a longitudinal stripe of stool as the stool is forming in the colon. Accordingly, methods of the invention comprise obtaining a representative sample, such as a circumferential or cross-sectional sample of stool in order to ensure that any disease indicator, such as cellular debris that is shed by colonic cells, is obtained in the sample.

La présente invention concerne des procédés de préparation d'un échantillon de selles, de manière à détecter la présence d'indicateurs d'une maladie, par exemple une sous-population de cellules cancéreuses ou précancéreuses. Ces procédés mettent en oeuvre le fait que des débris cellulaires provenant de cellules cancéreuses ou précancéreuses se déposent seulement sur une bande longitudinale des selles lors de la formation de celles-ci dans le colon. En conséquence, des procédés de l'invention consistent à obtenir un échantillon représentatif, comme un échantillon circonférentiel ou une section de selles, de manière que l'on puisse être certain d'obtenir ainsi, dans cet échantillon, tout indicateur de maladies, comme des débris cellulaires disséminés par des cellules du colon.
