Urinary and Faecal Amino‐Acids as Biomarkers for Colorectal Neoplasia in Lynch Syndrome—A Prospective Longitudinal Study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Lynch syndrome, colonoscopy surveillance for colorectal cancer (CRC) is burdensome and post‐colonoscopy CRCs still occur. Unlike the faecal immunochemical test (FIT), gut metabolomic alterations including amino‐acids have shown potential as non‐invasive biomarkers for detecting both advanced and non‐advanced sporadic colorectal neoplasia ...
