Official title
Peripheral Blood Telomere Length as a Biomarker of Advanced Colorectal Adenomas
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The aim of this study is to develop a blood test to determine which patients are at risk for pre-cancerous colon polyps (ACPs: Advanced Colon Polyps). The telomere length of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) can be measured from a blood sample. Mechanistic pathways and the investigator's preliminary data support PBL telomere length as a biomarker for ACPs. The long-term goal of this project is to decrease deaths from colon cancer by using a blood test to target colonoscopy for those patients who are at high risk for pre-cancerous polyps.
