- INTRODUCTION: The objective was to evaluate a new method for DNA sampling from the rectal mucosa for the detection of colorectal cancer or any clinically significant pathology in the colon and rectum. METHODS: This prospective cohort study included patients scheduled for colonoscopy (group 1, n = 185) or colonic resection because of suspected colorectal cancer (group 2, n = 62). A test instrument with a balloon-holding end was introduced through a proctoscope into the rectum to collect exfoliated cells, from which DNA was isolated and quantified. RESULTS: The detection of colorectal cancer in group 1 showed a sensitivity for the DNA cut-off levels 1.5, 2, and 2.5 microg/ml of 100%, 80%, and 60%, and a specificity of 37%, 46%, and 56%, respectively. In group 2, for the same cut-off levels, the sensitivity was 73%, 61%, and 55%, and the specificity was 67%, 67%, and 67%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This novel technique is a safe and easy way of collecting DNA from the rectal mucosa. The sensitivity and specificity of the test were too low to be acceptable for a screening test. The low sensitivity and specificity in this study could be explained by the diversity within the study groups as many patients presented with long-term history of colorectal disease and surgical interventions in the past.
