Combined screening for stomach and colon cancers
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study aims to find a better way to screen for stomach and colon cancers. You will be asked to provide a stool sample, and possibly have an endoscopy (a camera test), to see if combined screening can catch cancer early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 70 years old.
- You have never been diagnosed with cancer.
- You have not had surgery to remove your esophagus, stomach, or colon.
- You have not had a colonoscopy or gastroscopy in the last 5 years.
- You have not had a stool test (fecal occult blood or fecal DNA) in the past year.
- You do not have any warning signs of digestive tract cancer (like trouble swallowing, unexplained weight loss, or blood in stool) and are not pregnant or have serious health conditions that make screening less helpful.

This study tests a new way to screen for stomach and digestive cancers using a combination of tests. It compares different screening plans to see which works best for people in their middle years.
This study is testing a new way to screen for cancers of the digestive tract using a simple blood and stool test. It is for people who are already scheduled to have a digestive tract endoscopy, and it may help find cancers earlier without extra invasive procedures.
This study tests whether a stool sample can help detect early signs of cancers in the stomach, colon, and related organs. Researchers will compare stool test results with findings from standard camera procedures to see if this non-invasive approach might catch cancer earlier.
This study is testing a combined screening method for finding cancer in the stomach and intestines at an early stage. It is for people in Zhejiang Province who are willing to be screened and followed over time.
This study tests a new way to screen for stomach cancer by looking for special DNA markers in your stool. It might help find cancer early without needing an endoscopy right away.
This study is looking for people aged 40-75 who have never had cancer to participate in early screening for gastrointestinal tumors. The goal is to find cancers early when they are easier to treat.
