Mailed colon cancer screening test comparison
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.
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 tests a new device called Gixam to see if it can help find colorectal cancer in people who recently had a normal FIT test (a stool test for blood). You may be able to join if you are between 45 and 85 years old and are already scheduled for a routine screening colonoscopy.
This study checks stool samples to see how well stool tests can detect early colon cancer and precancerous growths called adenomas. If you qualify, you’ll collect stool samples for a lab test (FIT) and sometimes this helps sort who should get follow-up testing.
This trial compares different ways to screen healthy adults aged 45–74 for colorectal cancer using non-invasive tests. If you join, you will help find the best method to catch cancer early and prevent it.
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.
