What this trial studies

This observational study aims to recruit healthy individuals, precancer patients, and colorectal cancer patients to gather demographic information and biological samples. Participants will provide stool, blood, urine, and tissue samples, which will be analyzed to understand the relationship between colorectal cancer and the microbiome. The study is conducted with ethical approval and informed consent from all participants, ensuring that data collected is comprehensive and reliable.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include healthy individuals, those with precancerous conditions identified through colonoscopy, and colorectal cancer patients.

Not a fit: Patients who are unable to provide accurate information or those under 18 years old may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of colorectal cancer and potentially lead to improved prevention and treatment strategies.

How similar studies have performed: While similar studies have explored the microbiome's role in cancer, this specific approach is relatively novel and untested.
