Underwater colonoscopy for better cancer screening
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a new type of colonoscopy called total underwater colonoscopy (TUC) is better at finding polyps and cancer during routine screening. If you had a positive FIT stool test and are scheduled for a follow-up colonoscopy, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a positive FIT stool test as part of regular colon cancer screening
- You do not have a current or past colorectal cancer diagnosis within the last 10 years
- You are being referred for a follow-up colonoscopy at one of the participating screening centers

This trial tests a new tool that looks at gut bacteria to help find colorectal cancer earlier. It's for people who already had a positive result on a standard stool test (FIT) as part of a national screening program.
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 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 trial is testing a new way to screen for colorectal cancer in adults aged 45 to 74. If you join, you will help researchers find better methods for early detection.
This trial offers free screening for colorectal cancer using a stool test for people aged 45-74. It is for those who haven't had certain colorectal tests recently and are generally healthy.
