Diet, gut bacteria, and colon cancer risk study
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how diet and gut bacteria affect colon cancer risk in Black and Non-Hispanic White adults aged 45 to 75 who are at higher risk. You would donate mouth and stool samples and complete food recalls.

This study looks at how gut bacteria and immune activity differ in normal, pre-cancer, and cancer colon tissue. It may help researchers understand what changes in the body are linked to colon growth and how they could be targeted in the future.
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut, your immune system, and colon cancer interact. It aims to understand these connections to improve future treatments.
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 trial tests a new tool that looks at gut bacteria to help find colorectal cancer earlier. It's for people who already had a positive result on a standard stool test (FIT) as part of a national screening program.
This study looks at special tiny cell-signal particles (called exosomes) and related pathways to understand colorectal cancer. Your results from samples may help researchers learn how these signals relate to the disease after surgery.
This trial tests whether a specific diet before colon cancer surgery can change the bacteria in your gut to help prevent the cancer from coming back or spreading. Patients who are eligible will follow the diet for a short time before their operation.
