A blood test to screen for colon cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies a new blood test that looks for specific markers of colon cancer. If it works well, it could offer an easier way to screen for the disease without a colonoscopy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
