A simpler colon cancer screening pathway
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were referred to the NHS Lothian urgent colon cancer pathway with symptoms like bleeding or a change in bowel habits.
- You had a positive FIT (stool test) result as part of that referral.
- You are a new patient referred during the study period and not already under follow-up for polyps or previous cancer.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

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 tests a new way to help people get screened for colorectal cancer using a stool-based test called FIT. If you are due for screening and visit a primary care clinic in North Carolina or Washington state, you may be able to join.
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 study compares two ways of checking for colorectal cancer risk after advanced polyps are removed. It may help determine whether a stool test can safely replace some colonoscopy surveillance for certain people.
This trial tests a program to help people who had an abnormal FIT stool test follow through with getting a colonoscopy. The goal is to improve cancer screening by providing extra support through a care team and technology.
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.
