Cancer Biorepository—A Brief Overview

This study aims to explore how different types of videos about colorectal cancer (CRC) screening can affect people’s screening rates and how well they follow screening guidelines over time. Participants between the ages of 45 and 70, who are due for a colonoscopy or other CRC screening, will be randomly placed in one of three groups.

In addition to this, the research team will collect blood and tissue samples to study biomarkers. These biomarkers are special features in the body that might help predict cancer risk or detect cancer early in the future. This information could help develop better screening tests for detecting cancer.

Cancer Biorepository—Unlocking New Frontiers at Hightower Clinical

A cancer biorepository is vital for cancer research because it stores biological samples for future study. These samples help researchers better understand how cancer develops and progresses.

At Hightower Clinical, our cancer biorepository is dedicated to supporting groundbreaking research aimed at discovering new treatments and improved colorectal cancer outcomes. By collecting and preserving specimens, we provide the resources needed to study the risk for colorectal cancer while exploring diagnostic & therapeutic options. Our skilled team ensures that each sample is handled with the utmost care.

* All procedures and treatments related to the study are provided at no cost, and participation does not require insurance.

* The study physician will clarify all aspects of the clinical trial and address any questions you may have before participation.

What to Expect?

When you agree to join the study, you will first sign an Informed Consent Form that outlines all the details about the trial.
