This study investigates gastrointestinal biomarkers in patients with colorectal cancer. It involves collecting tissue and biological fluid samples from these patients and healthy volunteers undergoing procedures like colonoscopy or endoscopy.
The study evaluates the potential of these biomarkers to identify increased cancer risk. It looks at substances found in tissue and biofluid samples to develop new screening strategies.
- Who can participate: Participants must be undergoing colonoscopy or endoscopy for diagnostic or screening purposes and have a history of gastrointestinal cancer, polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease.
- Study details: Participants will provide tissue and biofluid samples during procedures like colonoscopy or endoscopy, which will be analyzed for tumor markers using proteomic methods.
