New markers to better diagnose colorectal cancer referrals
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks for new markers in the blood or stool to help diagnose colorectal cancer earlier. It is for people who have been referred urgently because their doctor suspects lower bowel cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is testing a new blood test to find colorectal cancer early. You may be able to join if you are about to have a colonoscopy or surgery for a suspected tumor.
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 study looks at whether routine lab tests can help find colon polyps (growths that can turn into cancer) early. It may help doctors diagnose polyps more quickly and simply.
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 trial is looking for new, non-invasive markers to help detect and predict colorectal cancer. Researchers will study people with colorectal cancer, those with precancerous growths, and healthy people to find better ways to diagnose the disease.
This trial tests whether a stool blood test can help decide who truly needs a follow-up colonoscopy after prior colon polyps. It may reduce unnecessary colonoscopies while still catching concerning changes early.
