Brief summary

This study aims to investigate the role of gut microbiome pattern and inflammation marker NF-ҡB in young-onset colorectal cancer

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTScore assessment

Asia Pacific Colorectal Screening (APCS) is a validated tool to predict the risk of colorectal cancer in asymptomatic Asian population. The scoring system comprises of three categories: low risk (score 0-1), moderate risk (score 2-3) and high risk (score 4-7). Patients with moderate and high risk will undergo further examinations.

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTBlood sampling

Blood samples will be taken before colonoscopy procedure to evaluate the level of serum CEA by ELISA method and to evaluate the presence of NF-ҡB by immunohistochemical method. 1. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a well-known marker for colorectal cancer. A pre-treatment serum CEA level of ≥ 5 ng/mL is associated with poor prognosis in colorectal cancer patients. 2. NF-ҡB is a chronic inflammation marker found in colorectal cancer patients.

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTFecal sampling

Fecal samples will be taken before colonoscopy procedure to be tested for FIT and to evaluate the gut microbiome. 1. Fecal immunochemical test (FIT) is a recommended screening method for colorectal cancer. Detection of hemoglobin over a certain level in fecal samples indicated a positive FIT. Patients with positive FIT will undergo further examinations. 2. Gut microbiome examination will be conducted with next generation sequencing (NGS) method.
