Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The study is testing a new, safe and effective way for the early detection of colon cancer. The method uses Low-coherence Enhanced Backscattering Spectroscopy (LEBS). This is an optic probe which is a small device that uses light (not laser) to assess the colon lining. This probe will be used before colonoscopy to identify subjects who do and do not have precancerous changes in the colon by capturing the light reflected back from the rectal wall and that will be assessed without the need for colonoscopy and bowel preparation (colon cleaning). This device may detect early cancerous changes in colon tissue with higher accuracy than current tests.
