Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to conduct clinical research to investigate the association of the gut microbiome with colonic neoplasia. In this case several types of gut microbiome samples will be collected from patients undergoing colectomy for colonic adenocarcinoma; those samples will be tested by Metabiomics Colon Polyp and Colorectal Cancer Assay and the percentage of false negative (test returns a negative for cancer) results determined.
