The present invention provides a method of assessing the presence or absence of CRC or CRA in a patient. The method involves obtaining a stool sample from the patient and assaying the stool sample to detect the presence or absence of one or both of two peptides referred to herein as X-18565 and X-19549. In another embodiment, the present invention provides an immunogenically-stimulatory composition comprising one or both of X-18565 and X-19549, including a physiologically-acceptable carrier. The invention also provides a method for producing antibodies that can specifically bind to X-18565 and X-19549, respectively, by administering such compositions to animals, which are thereby induced to produce antibodies. In another embodiment, the present invention provides a composition comprising an specific binding partner to either or both of X-18565 and X-19549 and to diagnostic test kits employing such reagents.
