Screening for Familial Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Patients

ABSTRACT: The goal of this psychosocial research study is to learn about the knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes that people have toward screening for colorectal cancer. Another goal is to study how families communicate about colorectal cancer risk and colorectal cancer screening, with each other and with health care providers. Objectives: 1. To evaluate psychosocial and external factors influencing colorectal cancer (CRC) patients’ communication with their first-degree relatives (FDRs) about CRC risk and screening information. Using measures of knowledge, health beliefs and behavior, family closeness, openness and motivation to discuss CRC and screening, distress, provider support and background variables (sociodemographics, access to care, and medical history), we will conduct a cross-sectional study to evaluate factors influencing CRC patients’ communication about CRC risk and screening information to their FDRs. 2. To evaluate psychosocial and external factors associated with CRC screening behavior among first-degree relatives of CRC patients. Using measures of knowledge, health beliefs and behavior, family closeness and subjective norms, distress, provider interactions, benefits/barriers, and background variables (race/ethnicity, sociodemographics, access to care, and medical history), we will conduct a cross-sectional study of FDRs of CRC patients recruited under Aim 1 to evaluate factors associated with CRC screening behavior (specifically, colonoscopy adherence).

Survivorship in Lynch Syndrome Families

Project description:Objectives: Specific Aims: 1. Researchers will evaluate and compare predictors of health-related quality of life (QOL) among colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors who have Lynch syndrome (LS) with those patients who have sporadic CRC using both quantitative and qualitative methodology. a. In both CRC groups, researchers will evaluate cancer preventive and health behaviors, including lifestyle factors and screening, psychosocial factors, including mood, family functioning, coping style, anxiety, depression, and social resources, and health care system factors, including interactions with health care providers and service utilization. 2. Researchers will compare the experience of first-degree relatives (FDRs) of patients who have LS with that of FDRs of patients who have sporadic CRC using both quantitative and qualitative methodology. a. Researchers will evaluate all of the domains listed above, as well as anticipatory grief, assessment of caregiving responsibilities, and fear of cancer in FDRs of patients with LS-related and sporadic CRC. 3. Researchers will examine CRC patients from both groups and their FDRs using dyadic analyses in order to evaluate the similarities and differences in their survivorship experience. 4. Researchers will evaluate the preventive and health behavior of patients who are non-conclusive for Lynch syndrome and their family members. They will examine their screening behavior and will explore how the interaction between the patients and their relatives affects the relatives’ screening behavior. They also will examine how these non conclusive LS patients and their family members perceive their risk for LS-related cancers.

Survey of ColoRectal Cancer Education and Environment Needs

Project description:Despite strong evidence for the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a variety of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening methods for reducing CRC mortality, current CRC screening rates fall far below the levels needed to significantly impact CRC mortality. Unfortunately, however, the existing literature on patient CRC screening behavior does not yet provide a sufficient evidence base for making sound recommendations regarding how to most effectively improve upon these rates in the VA. This study will inform future CRC screening promotion efforts and make important scientific contributions to existing literature by: (a) delineating the relative contribution of patient cognitive, environmental and background factors to CRC screening behavior using a multi-level, theory driven analysis approach on a nationally representative sample, and (b) identifying the determinants of variation in CRC screening behavior across vulnerable population subgroups.

A Community-Based Educational Intervention to Improve Colorectal Cancer Screening

Project description:This study investigates the facilitators and barriers to colorectal cancer screening in underserved populations with a focus on African American, Latinx, and Asian (Chinese) in the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center catchment area. Learning what encourages people and what keeps people from getting colorectal cancer screening may help researchers develop an educational tool for colorectal cancer screening that addresses colorectal cancer knowledge, beliefs, and cultural factors in underserved populations.

Non-cathartic Computed Tomographic Colonography to Screen Subjects With a Family History of Colorectal Cancer

Project description:Background: Although subjects with first-degree relatives (FDR) with a history of colorectal cancer (CRC) are at increased risk for CRC, compliance to screening colonoscopy is suboptimal. Computed tomographic colonography (CTC) has been recognized as an alternative for CRC screening in average risk subjects, but less information is available on its performance in FDRs. Aims: To prospectively assess the accuracy of CTC as a screening tool in FDRs using colonoscopy (OC) with segmental unblinding as reference standard. Methods: Consecutive patients admitted with CRC diagnosis (index case, IC) were prospectively evaluated. Following the systematic identification of ICs with inherited predispositions to CRC, ICs who agreed to contact their FDRs ≥40 years old were included. Available FDRs were invited to undergo non-cathartic CTC, with OC the following day. Sensitivity/specificity/PPV/NPV of CTC was assessed for detecting subjects with any lesion ≥6 mm, ≥10 mm, and for advanced neoplasia ≥6 mm.

Adipocyte Precursor Cells from First Degree Relatives of type 2 diabetic patients feature changes of hsa-mir-23a-5p, -193a-5p, and -193b-5p and Insulin-Like Growth Factor 2 expression [RNA-Seq]

Project description:First-degree relatives (FDRs) of type 2 diabetics (T2D) feature dysfunction of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) long before T2D onset. miRNAs have a role in adipocyte precursor cells (APC) differentiation and in adipocyte identity. Thus, impaired miRNA expression may contribute to SAT dysfunction in FDRs. In the present work, we have explored changes of miRNA expression associated with T2D family history which may affect gene expression in SAT APCs from FDRs. Small RNA-seq was performed in APCs from healthy FDRs and matched controls and omics data were validated by qPCR. Integrative analyses of APC miRNome and transcriptome from FDRs revealed down-regulated hsa-miR-23a-5p, -193a-5p and -193b-5p accompanied by up-regulated Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 (IGF2) gene which proved to be their direct target. The expression changes of these marks were associated with SAT adipocyte hypertrophy in FDRs. APCs from FDRs further demonstrated reduced capability to differentiate into adipocytes. Treatment with IGF2 protein decreased APC adipogenesis, while over-expression of hsa-miR-23a-5p, -193a-5p and -193b-5p enhanced adipogenesis by IGF2 targeting. Indeed, IGF2 increased the Wnt Family Member 10B gene expression in APCs. Down-regulation of the three miRNAs and IGF2 up-regulation were also observed in Peripheral Blood Leukocytes (PBLs) from FDRs. In conclusion, APCs from FDRs feature a specific miRNA/gene profile, which associates with SAT adipocyte hypertrophy and appears to contribute to impaired adipogenesis. PBL detection of this profile may help in identifying adipocyte hypertrophy in individuals at high risk of T2D.

Mouse colon tumor gene expression of epithelial, stromal and infiltrating myeloid cells.

Project description:High T cell infiltration in colorectal cancer (CRC) correlates with a better disease outcome and immunotherapy response. This is observed in only a small subset of CRC patients. A better understanding of the factors influencing tumor T cell responses in CRC could inspire novel therapeutic approaches to achieve broader immunotherapy responsiveness. Numerous cell types and factors within the tumor microenvironment (TME) have been described as T cell suppressive within multiple mouse and human cancers. The influence of the TME on T cell infiltration and response in CRC is currently a matter of intense investigation. Here we investigated gene expression of different cell types isolated from mouse colon tumors or control tissue in order to find potential T cell suppressive cues present within these tumors.
