Improving colorectal cancer early screening with stool tests
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks for markers in stool (poop) to detect colorectal cancer early. If you are between 40 and 74, live in the Lisbon area, and don't have certain digestive or cancer conditions, you may help improve screening by providing a stool sample.

This study looks at how bacteria and other microbes in your gut are linked to colorectal cancer risk and outcomes. By collecting stool samples from people newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer, researchers hope to find patterns that could improve understanding and future treatments.
This study tests a new stool-based test for detecting colorectal cancer and advanced polyps. It aims to see how well it works compared to a colonoscopy. The results may lead to a simpler screening option.
This study is evaluating PreveCol, a new second-line stool test for people aged 50–69 who had a positive FIT/FOBT result and are already scheduled for a colonoscopy. It aims to find out if this test can help detect colorectal cancer earlier.
This trial tests a new stool-based screening test that may find colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas (precancerous growths) early. It studies whether the test works well compared with the standard colonoscopy, so it could offer an easier, less invasive screening option in the future.
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 helps patients at the Primary Care Medicine Clinic get screened for colorectal cancer using education and at-home stool tests. It aims to make screening easier and catch problems early.
