Stool blood test to decide if follow-up colonoscopy is needed
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a stool blood test can help decide who truly needs a follow-up colonoscopy after prior colon polyps. It may reduce unnecessary colonoscopies while still catching concerning changes early.

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.
This trial tests a new stool-based screening test that may find colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas (precancerous growths) early. It studies whether the test works well compared with the standard colonoscopy, so it could offer an easier, less invasive screening option in the future.
This trial tests a new blood test to screen for colorectal cancer in people at average risk. You would give a blood sample before your scheduled colonoscopy, and the results will be compared to the colonoscopy findings.
This study checks whether a blood test can help identify colorectal cancer or precancerous growths. You would have a planned colonoscopy, and researchers compare the blood test results to what the colonoscopy finds.
This trial studies a new blood test that looks for specific markers of colon cancer. If it works well, it could offer an easier way to screen for the disease without a colonoscopy.
This study checks stool samples to see how well stool tests can detect early colon cancer and precancerous growths called adenomas. If you qualify, you’ll collect stool samples for a lab test (FIT) and sometimes this helps sort who should get follow-up testing.
