Screening and Risk Factors of Colon Neoplasia

Completed

Conditions studied: Colon Cancer

In brief

The investigators propose a screening population-based study to systematically evaluate the accuracy and clinical relevance of sDNA testing as a potential alternative to colonoscopy screening. In addition, the investigators propose a genetic epidemiologic study of the relation between colon polyps, an established precursor of colon cancer, and two factors that may influence risk for colon cancer: candidate genes and diet.
