Bacteria in mouth and gut may hold clues to colon polyp risk
NCT ID NCT07290023
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at the bacteria in the mouth and gut of 126 people with and without serrated polyposis syndrome, a condition that raises the risk of colorectal cancer. Researchers compared the bacteria in people with the syndrome to those with other types of polyps or no polyps at all. The goal was to find differences that might explain why some people develop this condition, which could lead to better screening or prevention in the future.

Inclusion Criteria: \- Individuals who meet the diagnostic criteria for serrated polyposis syndrome and who have a recent colonoscopy (\<3 months) in which at least one serrated lesion is resected (defined as hyperplastic polyp or sessile serrated lesion / polyp) proximal to the rectum ≥ 5 mm. 2\) Individuals who have a recent colonoscopy (\<3 months) in which it is at least dry a serrated lesion proximal to the rectum ≥ 5 mm. Must not present ≥ 5 serrated lesions metachronous or synchronous. 3) Individuals who have had a recent colonoscopy (\<3 months) with resection of the less one adenoma ≥ 5 mm. 4) Individuals who have had a recent colonoscopy (\<3 months) without polyps. Exclusion Criteria: * Suspicion of hereditary syndromes of predisposition to CRC (\> 20 metachronous adenomas, Familial adenomatous polyposis, Lynch syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, Cowden, juvenile polyposis). * Consumption of antibiotics, probiotics or prebiotics in the last 3 months. * Incomplete colonoscopy or with inadequate preparation in some section. * Adenomatous, serrated or indeterminate polyps synchronous in the inclusion colonoscopy except in the group of serrated polyposis syndrome. * Colorectal cancer or hamartomatous polyps in inclusion colonoscopy.
