Mycotoxin Exposure and Dietary Habits in Colorectal Cancer Prevention and Development Among Polish Population

November 2, 2019 updated by: Tomasz Sawicki, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn

The aim of the study is the determination of the zearalenone and its metabolites (α and β) level in the blood plasma and faeces of patients at increased risk of cancer, in relation to the nutrition data (FFQ) and information on the quality of life dependent on health (WHOQOL-BREF).

The study is performer within the framework of the Polish Colonoscopy Screening Program. Within the study 100 volunteers between 50 and 65 years of age. while, the colonoscopies will be performed in Provincial Specialist Hospital in Olsztyn. Patients with positive test result, who have been diagnosed with polyps or cancer, will be assigned to risk group. The study has been approved by a local bioethics committee.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Prevention
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: No Intervention: Current screening practice.
Patients will be asked to complete the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) and the questionnaire about The World Health Organization Quality Of Life (WHOQOL-BREF), also and will be collected the demographic and anthropometric data
complete the two questionnaires (Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) and the questionnaire of The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF)
completing the demographic questionnaire
For the determination of anthropometric data will be used a professional body mass composition analyser (Seca,Hamburg, Germany)
Experimental: Experimental: Sequential screening strategy
People aged between 50-65, will take part in the study. Patients, which will take in a screening colonoscopy, will be divided into two groups according to the result obtained. The first group, will be constitute the patients with a positive test result, while the second group (control) will be constitute the patients with the negative test result. In addition, from the Subjects the samples of blood and faeces will be collected.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Completion of the assigned screening strategy
Time Frame: Within 8 weeks of enrollment

Completion of the assigned screening strategy within 8 weeks of enrollment defined as:

* current screening strategy: documented screening colonoscopy.

Within 8 weeks of enrollment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Analysis of the concentration of the mycotoxin
Time Frame: 5 month
Determination of the concentration and a profile of the mycotoxin using the high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with the mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS)
5 month
Characteristics of gut bacterial
Time Frame: 6 month
The presence of bacterial DNA in the samples will be confirmed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Microbial diversity will be study by sequencing the amplified V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene by using primers 16S. Next, the amplicon pools will be prepared for sequencing and the size and quantity of the amplicon library will be assessed on NGS MiSeq.
6 month
Determination of anthropometric data
Time Frame: 4 weeks
The anthropometric data will be determined using the professional body mass composition analyser. Based on the obtained data will be calculated Body Mass Index (BMI), which will be expressed in kg/m^2
4 weeks
