Metabolic Phenotyping of Blood Plasma by Means of 1H-NMR Spectroscopy: a New Tool to Detect Colorectal Cancer?
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Control group-Blood sampling and Blood sampling for Colorectal Cancer. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The hypothesis of the present study is that metabolic phenotyping of blood plasma allows to (i) discriminate between colorectal cancer patients and control subjects and (ii) identify new biomarkers for colorectal cancer. In order to test this hypothesis, the investigators will apply proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy to perform metabolic phenotyping of blood plasma in 50 colorectal cancer patients and 50 control subjects. Multivariate statistics will be performed to assess the discriminative power of the applied methodology in distinguishing between both groups and to identify metabolites with potential as biomarkers for colorectal cancer.
