Comparing colorectal cancer screening tests for adults
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 45 and 74 years old.
- You must feel generally well and be able to make your own decisions, agreeing in writing to take part.
- You must never have had colorectal cancer or pre-cancerous growths (polyps).
- You must not have had any colon surgery (removing part or all of the colon or rectum).
- You must not have been diagnosed with any cancer or be receiving cancer treatment right now.
- You must not have had a colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, or CT colonography in the past 5 years, nor a stool or blood DNA test for colon cancer in the past year. You also must not have colon symptoms or other serious illnesses that would make screening unsafe.

This trial is testing a new way to screen for colorectal cancer in adults aged 45 to 74. If you join, you will help researchers find better methods for early detection.
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.
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 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 tests if a more straightforward screening process can work better for people referred with possible colon cancer symptoms. It looks at how a positive stool test (FIT) leads to a diagnosis.
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.
