Brief summary

This study collects blood and stool samples from patients with suspected or diagnosed Lynch syndrome to evaluate a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) screening technique for the detection of colorectal cancer in Lynch syndrome patients.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the multitarget stool DNA (mt-sDNA) 2.0 test, for colorectal neoplasia in patients with Lynch syndrome. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. Develop a biorepository of samples (stool and blood) from patients with Lynch syndrome and early onset colorectal cancer. OUTLINE: Patients undergo collection of blood and stool samples no more than 90 days prior to or between 7-90 days after standard of care colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy. Patients' medical records are also reviewed.

Inclusion criteria

* Patients at least 18 years of age * Individuals diagnosed with Lynch syndrome (mutation in MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, EPCAM) or colorectal cancer (CRC) with suspected Lynch syndrome or individuals diagnosed with early onset CRC (\<55 years old) * Colonoscopy/flexible sigmoidoscopy (flex sig) scheduled +/- 90 days from sample collection * Patient has agreed to participate and has signed the study consent form

Exclusion criteria

* Patient has known cancer (stage I-IV) within 5 years prior to current sample collection (not including basal cell or squamous cell skin cancers; if patient has not been seen or if information is not available, the patient is eligible) * Patient has received chemotherapy class drugs for the treatment of cancer in the 5 years prior to current sample collection * Patient has had any abdominal radiation therapy prior to current sample collection * Patient had therapy to the target (non-hyperplastic) lesion with intent to completely remove or debulk the lesion prior to sample collection \[examples include snare polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), surgical resection, trans anal excision\] * Patient has prior diagnosis of non-lynch hereditary colon cancer syndrome \[familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP), Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS), PTEN, POL\] * ADDITIONAL STOOL EXCLUSIONS: * Bowel prep \<7 days prior to stool collection * Oral or rectal contrast given within 7 days prior to stool collection * Presence of ileostomy * Enteral feeds or total parenteral nutrition (TPN) * Diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease
