Trial Information

Role of Natural Fluorescence of Human Blood Plasma in Patients With Colorectal Cancer.


Eligibility criteria: Gastrointestinal disease or clinical symptoms related to colorectal
cancer risk submitted to endoscopy. Exclusion criteria consisted of age younger than 18
years, history of psychiatric illness, and preoperative radiotherapy.

Outcome: investigated the possible role of the native fluorescence of blood plasma in the
management of colorectal cancer (CRC) and its feasibility as a new tumor marker. Sample of
blood was collected from asymptomatic blood donors and from CRC patients. The native
fluorescence of blood plasma was measured using a conventional spectrofluorimeter.


Inclusion Criteria:



Gastrointestinal disease clinical symptoms related to colorectal cancer risk endoscopy

Age younger than 18 years or more than 75 years, history of psychiatric illness,
preoperative chemo/radiotherapy.
