Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Evaluation of a Model for the Early Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer by the Detection of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) in Plasma Cell-free DNA to the Community Colorectal Cancer Screening Program

Study Description

Brief Summary: The incidence rate and mortality of colorectal cancer are increasing year by year. Most colorectal cancer develops from colorectal adenoma and is a disease that can be prevented and controlled. Thanks to early screening, the incidence rate and mortality of colorectal cancer have declined year by year. However, due to poor compliance with colonoscopy and the lack of efficient and convenient early screening methods, it is difficult to screen for colorectal cancer in China. According to the data from Shanghai Xuhui District Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the proportion of colonoscopies in high-risk groups for colorectal cancer is less than 18%. This project plans to use the latest colorectal cancer screening technology, namely, 5hmC detection in peripheral blood and DNA methylation detection in feces, for those who are positive in the colorectal cancer incidence risk questionnaire or fecal occult blood in Xuhui District, Shanghai. It is strongly recommended that subjects with positive screening should undergo colonoscopy, to effectively improve the rate of colonoscopy and the early diagnosis rate of colorectal cancer. At the same time, to explore the screening efficiency of the early diagnosis model of 5hmC cancer.
