Early colon cancer detection using a blood test
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses a simple blood test to find early signs of colorectal cancer in people who already had a positive stool test. If it works, it could help avoid unnecessary colonoscopies in the future.

This study is looking for people newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer or advanced adenoma to help find better ways to detect the disease early using advanced lab tests on blood samples.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help guide the care of people being evaluated for colorectal cancer. It may support earlier or clearer decision-making alongside existing screening or colonoscopy results.
This study looks for early signs of colorectal cancer and ways to check if it comes back after treatment. It uses blood samples to find markers that could help doctors diagnose and monitor the disease more effectively.
This study aims to find colorectal cancer and advanced polyps (adenomas) earlier by looking at blood samples. Researchers hope a simple blood test might one day help detect colon cancer before it spreads.
This study tests whether a simple urine sample can detect colorectal cancer or precancerous polyps. Researchers want to see if this non-invasive test could help identify people at risk before symptoms develop or catch cancer earlier.
This study tests a stool sample test to see if it can find colorectal cancer or early warning signs (precancerous growths) as well as a colonoscopy does. You will provide a stool sample before your colonoscopy, and the results will be compared.
