Stool test for follow-up after colorectal cancer treatment
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether a simple stool test (FIT) can replace some follow-up colonoscopies or CT scans for people who have been treated for colorectal cancer. If you are due for a routine check-up after your cancer surgery, you may be able to take this test at home instead of having a more invasive procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer and had surgery to remove it with the goal of curing it.
- You are scheduled for a routine follow-up colonoscopy or CT scan of the colon.
- You do not have an ileostomy or have no colon left after surgery.
- Your cancer has not come back yet.

This study checks if a simple stool test (called FIT) can help find colorectal cancer in people with lower gut symptoms. The results will be compared with a colonoscopy to see if the stool test is reliable.
This trial compares two home colon cancer screening tests, Cologuard and FIT, mailed directly to you. It aims to see which one helps more people complete screening and find the test that works best for you.
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 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 trial studies the best way to follow up with people who had a positive FIT stool test (high blood level) but a normal colonoscopy. It aims to find the right schedule for future screening to catch any problems early.
This trial checks a stool test called FIT-DNA after colorectal (colon) cancer surgery. It aims to see whether this test can help doctors monitor for recurrence during follow-up and decide how closely to watch.
