Brief Title: Study of Gut Microbiome and Colorectal Tumors
Official Title: The Gut Microbiota in Conventional and Serrated Precursors of Colorectal Cancer
Study ID: NCT03297996
Brief Summary: Gut microbiota were assessed in 540 colonoscopy-screened adults by 16S rRNA gene sequencing of stool samples. Investigators compared gut microbiota diversity, overall composition, and normalized taxon abundance among these groups.
Detailed Description: Colorectal cancer is a heterogeneous disease arising from at least two precursors-the conventional adenoma (CA) and the serrated polyp. A relationship between the human gut microbiota and colorectal cancer has been shown; however, its relationship to the different early precursors of colorectal cancer is understudied. This study tested, for the first time, the relationship of the gut microbiota to specific colorectal polyp types.
