Stool test for finding colon cancer early
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a stool sample test to see if it can find colorectal cancer or early warning signs (precancerous growths) as well as a colonoscopy does. You will provide a stool sample before your colonoscopy, and the results will be compared.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 40 and 75 years old.

- You must be able to agree to take part in the study.
- You cannot have had surgery on your colon or rectum before.
- You cannot have inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a simple blood test to find early signs of colorectal cancer in people who already had a positive stool test. If it works, it could help avoid unnecessary colonoscopies in the future.
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 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 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 study checks whether a stool test that looks for tiny genetic signals can help detect colorectal cancer (or find it again after prior findings). You may be asked to provide a stool sample around the time you get a colonoscopy.
This study is looking at whether routine lab tests can help find colorectal adenomas (non-cancerous polyps in the colon) earlier. If you are having a colonoscopy and are found to have such a polyp, you may join to help improve early detection.
