    Author: Uhlig K, Jacobasch KH, Lampe J, Wiedemann FH, Schönberner H.
    Journal: Arch Geschwulstforsch; 1981; 51(8):717-20. PubMed ID: 7340717.
    Abstract:
    Results of an occult-blood-test in 1 072 persons are reported. The test, recently registered as KRYPTO-HAEM, was developed by the Central Institute of Molecular Biology of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR. 27 patients (2.5%) had positive findings and by clinical examination 1 carcinoma of the sigmoid colon and 2 adenomas were detected. In 1 case (adenoma of the rectum) the test had a false-negative result. The findings were compared with own experiences with the HAEMOCCULT-Test. The KRYPTO-HAEM-Test is recommended for screening for colorectal tumors.
