Clinical trials

In this study, the investigators aimed to apply their previously developed multi-locus blood-based assay targeting circulating tumor DNA methylation to monitor postoperative relapse and evaluate adjuvant chemotherapy efficacy in resected stage I and stage II (without high risk) colorectal cancer after radical resection.

This study will validate the real world results of polygene methylation detection in colorectal cancer in a large prospective community cohort. In this study, questionnaire survey and polygene methylation detection technology of colorectal cancer were used as preliminary screening methods, and colonoscopy was used as further validation examination method to screen colorectal cancer and precancerous lesions. The diagnosis and outcome of all lesions were based on colonoscopy and pathological examination.

This is a cross-sectional cohort study based on community population jointly developed by Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital and Shanghai Kunyuan Biological Technology Co., LTD. This study will verify the real world results of polygene methylation detection of colorectal cancer in a large prospective cohort of community population, which is expected to enroll 80,000 permanent residents in Yangzhou city. The preliminary design period of the study is 5 years. In this study, questionnaire survey and polygene methylation test of colorectal cancer were used as the primary screening method, and colonoscopy was used as the further validation examination method to screen colorectal cancer and precancerous lesions. The diagnosis and outcome of all lesions were based on colonoscopy and pathological examination. The evaluation indexes include sensitivity, specificity, detection rate of precancerous lesions and adenoma.
