Collecting Blood and Stool Samples to Detect Colorectal Cancer or Advanced Neoplasia in Lynch Syndrome Patients

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the multitarget stool DNA (mt-sDNA) 2.0 test, for colorectal neoplasia in patients with Lynch syndrome.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Develop a biorepository of samples (stool and blood) from patients with Lynch syndrome and early onset (< 50 years old) colorectal cancer.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo collection of blood and stool samples no more than 90 days prior to or between 7-90 days after standard of care colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy. Patients' medical records are also reviewed.
