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 looks at patterns of colorectal (colon and rectum) findings in people who are having a colonoscopy as part of routine care. It may help improve how doctors detect and understand colorectal cancer and related growths over time.
This study looks for new markers in the blood or stool to help diagnose colorectal cancer earlier. It is for people who have been referred urgently because their doctor suspects lower bowel cancer.
This trial is testing whether a simple stool test (FIT) can replace some follow-up colonoscopies or CT scans for people who have been treated for colorectal cancer. If you are due for a routine check-up after your cancer surgery, you may be able to take this test at home instead of having a more invasive procedure.
This study tests whether education plus a stool-based screening kit can increase colorectal cancer screening rates in primary care settings. If you join, you may receive educational materials and a stool test to help detect colon cancer early.
This study tests whether early information and encouragement from your primary care doctor helps you complete a follow-up colonoscopy after an abnormal screening test for colorectal cancer. The goal is to reduce delays and ensure people get the care they need quickly.
