Compare stool test vs colonoscopy for older adults with polyps
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can speak English or Spanish

- Your last colonoscopy found two or fewer non-cancerous, lower-risk polyps
- You are due for your next colonoscopy now or within the next 12 months
- You can sign written consent to join the study

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 compares a new, more frequent surveillance schedule (yearly stool tests and colonoscopies every 2 years) to the standard schedule for people who have had advanced polyps removed. It aims to see if the extra testing helps prevent future colon cancer.
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 different ways to screen healthy adults aged 45–74 for colorectal cancer using non-invasive tests. If you join, you will help find the best method to catch cancer early and prevent it.
This study is looking at whether routine lab tests can help find colorectal adenomas (non-cancerous polyps in the colon) earlier. If you are having a colonoscopy and are found to have such a polyp, you may join to help improve early detection.
This study checks how well two lab tests (M3 and FIT) can predict whether advanced colon polyps (adenomas) will come back. If you’ve had adenomas found on a prior colonoscopy, these results may help plan future surveillance.
