Fecal test for colorectal cancer detection
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) to find colorectal cancer or precancerous growths. It aims to see if a simple stool sample can help detect problems early.

This study checks how well a set of bacterial gene markers (a DNA-like test) can help identify advanced “precancer-like” or higher-risk growths in the colon. It may help doctors better target who needs closer follow-up during colonoscopy.
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 offers free screening for colorectal cancer using a stool test for people aged 45-74. It is for those who haven't had certain colorectal tests recently and are generally healthy.
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 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 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.
