Compare a stool blood test versus colonoscopy follow-up after precancer removal
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of checking for colorectal cancer risk after advanced polyps are removed. It may help determine whether a stool test can safely replace some colonoscopy surveillance for certain people.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 65 years old
- You recently had precancerous polyps removed and fully diagnosed (advanced adenoma, or a pattern of multiple non-advanced adenomas)
- You must not have a personal history of colorectal cancer
- Your prior colonoscopy must have examined the full colon and the removed polyps must have been fully removed
- You should not have conditions that greatly increase risk or will likely limit life expectancy (about 5 years or less)

This study compares two ways to check for colon polyps in older adults: using a stool test versus having a colonoscopy. It may help find a simpler option if you only had a small number of lower-risk polyps before.
This trial checks a stool test called FIT-DNA after colorectal (colon) cancer surgery. It aims to see whether this test can help doctors monitor for recurrence during follow-up and decide how closely to watch.
This study checks how well a set of bacterial gene markers (a DNA-like test) can help identify advanced “precancer-like” or higher-risk growths in the colon. It may help doctors better target who needs closer follow-up during colonoscopy.
This study tests if a more straightforward screening process can work better for people referred with possible colon cancer symptoms. It looks at how a positive stool test (FIT) leads to a diagnosis.
This study tests if a stool microbiome test can help find colorectal cancer early in people who already had a positive FIT screening test. You would give a stool sample and your microbiome results will be compared to what the colonoscopy finds.
This trial compares using a simple stool test (FIT) versus a repeat colonoscopy to check for new polyps in people who have already had an advanced adenoma removed. It aims to see if the stool test is a safe and effective alternative for routine follow-up.
