The application of microRNA as a diagnostic and prognostic CRC biomarker may compensate for the colonoscopy limitations. However, there are no data in the literature on the existence of real test systems based on the evaluation of microRNA expression. Our pilot study is the first step to creating a test system for CRC diagnosis based on the analysis of microRNA expression in the tissue of the intact colon. <b>The aim of the study</b> is to assess the prospects of using the level of microRNA expression as a supplemental method for diagnosing colorectal cancer and adenomatous polyps.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>Patients participating in the study were divided into three groups: group 1 included patients with CRC (n=5), group 2 - patients with polyps in the colon (n=4), and patients without oncological pathology treated for hemorrhoidal disease without exacerbation (n=5) composed group 3.Tissue samples of the intact gut were taken from all patients.
