Summary

The purpose of this study is to study samples of rectal mucosa (the moist lining of the rectum) using a new light scattering technology, called partial wave spectroscopy (PWS) in patients who will undergo a standard of care colonoscopy or a flexible sigmoidoscopy and have a history of ulcerative colitis (UC).

Conditions

PROCEDURE

PWS Testing

Partial wave spectroscopy (PWS)has been developed to allow scientists to learn about any changes to the cells that may indicate a risk of developing colon cancer.
