About
RATIONALE: Diagnostic imaging procedures, such as fludeoxyglucose F 18 PET, may be effective in detecting cancer or recurrence of cancer, or premalignant polyps.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying fludeoxyglucose F 18-PET imaging to see how well it works in determining protein and gene expression signatures in patients with premalignant polyps or colon cancer.
Full description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
Secondary
OUTLINE: Part I: Patients receive fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG) IV followed 45-60 minutes later by surgery to remove part or all of the colon. Tissue samples of the colon undergo positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.
Part II: Tissue samples are analyzed for glucose transporters proteins (Glut-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7) via IHC; presence of K-ras mutation (invariable mutant site on codon 12, 13) via PCR; 18q deletion via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or DCC IHC; MCT-1, Hex-1, Hex-2, and COX-2 expression levels via quantitative RT-PCR method or western blot; APC mutation via PCR- In Vitro Synthesized-Protein Assay or RT-PCR direct sequencing method; p53 mutation detection via immunochemistry, RT-PCR direct sequence methods, and western blot; methylation alteration of MGMT, CDKN2A, HLTF, MLH1, TIMP3, HIF1, BNIP3, and HRK via methylation detecting microchip; and specific gene methylations via methylation-specific PCR. Some tissue samples may be saved and banked for future studies.
