Testing blood and stool for colon cancer in Lynch syndrome
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study collects blood and stool samples to see how well they can detect colorectal cancer or advanced growths in people with Lynch syndrome (an inherited colon cancer risk) or suspected Lynch syndrome. It may help find cancer or precancer earlier, which can improve next-step decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have known Lynch syndrome, or colorectal cancer with suspected Lynch syndrome, or colon cancer diagnosed before age 55
- Have a colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy scheduled within about 3 months of when the samples will be collected
- Be willing to sign consent and follow the study sample-collection steps
- In the past 5 years, you should not have had most cancer treatments (like chemotherapy) or prior abdominal radiation

This study tests a special CAD-EYE system to help detect abnormal (potentially cancer-related) growths during colonoscopy in people with Lynch syndrome. It may improve how reliably clinicians find lesions early, when treatment can be easier.
This study checks tumor tissue from colorectal cancer surgery for signs of Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that increases cancer risk. If found, you can get genetic counseling to help you and your family.
This trial studies a new stool test that looks for DNA changes linked to Lynch syndrome. It aims to find colorectal cancer early in people with Lynch syndrome, before symptoms start.
This trial tests whether a simple blood test or tumor tissue test can help identify Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition that raises the risk of colorectal cancer, in people who already have colon cancer. If you are eligible, the study will compare different screening methods to see which work best in Vietnam.
This registry study looks at how many people with colon cancer also have Lynch syndrome, an inherited condition that can affect cancer risk. If you enroll, your care team collects basic information from your diagnosis to better estimate how common it is.
This study tests whether a simple blood test (called a liquid biopsy) can safely replace some invasive cancer screening procedures for people with Lynch syndrome. It aims to find cancer early with less discomfort.
