Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all of the following criteria: - Known colorectal adenoma with a diameter greater than 1 cm - If there are more adenomas greater than 1 cm found during colonoscopy the largest adenoma will be included in the study. - Scheduled for colonoscopy for endoscopic treatment of the lesion at a dedicated colonoscopy program for large colorectal adenomas in the AMC; - Signed the informed consent form - Scheduled for colonoscopy for endoscopic treatment of the lesion at a dedicated colonoscopy program for large colorectal adenomas in the AMC; - Signed the informed consent form - Age greater than or equal to 18 years
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: A patient who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: - Known to have a genetic polyposis syndrome (Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC)). - Known or suspicion of inflammatory bowel disease.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The prevalence and abundance of F. nucleatum in biopsies from large adenomas, biopsies from healthy colorectal tissue and matching stool and saliva samples. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - The prevalence and abundance of microbes other than F. nucleatum in biopsies from large adenomas, biopsies from healthy colorectal tissue and matching stool and saliva samples. - The microbial gene expression including known or potential microbial virulence factors in the aforementioned tissues. - Characterization of immune cell subsets infiltrating adenoma samples - Characterisation of immunological infiltrates in adenoma samples and PBMC - Number of biopsies needed to obtain sufficient material to perform extensive flowcytometry to identify the different T cell and myeloid cell populations - Reactivity of different T cell and myeloid cell populations against adenoma and bacterial antigens | — |
