Overview
Brief Summary
This is a-two phase study. Phase 1 will adapt a 3-metabolite biosensor that identifies patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and precancerous polyps to Nigerian patients. Phase 2 will pilot test and evaluate the point-of-care (POC) biosensor device in Nigeria.
Detailed Description
In Phase 1, urine will be collected from 450 Nigerian patients (150 with CRC, 150 with polyps, and 150 patients with no colon premalignant or malignant pathology. These samples will be used to refine a handheld biosensor. This handheld biosensor is intended to be a cost-effective POC diagnostic test highly sensitive for CRC in Nigerian patients. In Phase 2, the biosensor device will be piloted in Nigeria with 75 patients that are high-risk for CRC.. After the pilot, POC test in real-time analysis on urine from 645 patients who are in one of three groups: 1.\> 40 years of age with rectal bleeding; 2.a family history of CRC; 3. have a diagnosis of CRC. All patients will receive a colonoscopy. Beliefs and barriers related to urine testing for CRC will be investigated. Study will be completed within 5 years.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients \> 40 years of age with LGI bleeding OR
- •Patients who are high risk due to family history of CRC
- •o Must be at most 10 years younger than when relative presented with CRC (for example, a patient with a relative diagnosed at age 40 with CRC will be eligible after age 30) OR
- •Patients with a diagnosis of stage I-III CRC who have no evidence of disease
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients who are unable to provide written informed consent;
- •Previous diagnosis, treatment, or surgery for any cancer other than CRC
- •Age younger than 40 years with no family history of CRC

- •Diagnosis of or suspected inflammatory bowel disease.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Sensitivity and specificity of a point of care device to diagnose colorectal cancer and polyps
Time Frame: 5 years
We have designed a urine-based point of care diagnostic test to risk-stratify patients at high-risk for colorectal cancer. that will have 50% specificity and 80% sensitivity among Nigerian targeted population.
Secondary Outcomes
- Cost per patient of point of care urine test for diagnosing patients with colorectal cancer and polyps.(3 years)
- Number of patients that are willing to consider continued colorectal cancer surveillance with a urine point of care test.(3 years)
