Swallowed camera for colon cancer screening in Lynch syndrome
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study is testing a capsule colonoscopy — a tiny camera in a pill you swallow — as an alternative to a traditional colonoscopy for people with Lynch syndrome, which raises your risk of colon cancer. If it works well, it could make routine screenings a lot more comfortable and easier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed Lynch syndrome diagnosis (through genetic testing).
- You must be between 18 and 60 years old.
- You must be scheduled for a routine colonoscopy as part of your Lynch syndrome care.
- You should not have had any prior surgery on your small intestine or colon.
- You should not have swallowing difficulties or any condition that prevents you from swallowing a capsule.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a video capsule (a pill-sized camera you swallow) can help find polyps in people with Lynch syndrome, without needing a colonoscopy. It may be an easier way to screen for colon cancer.
This trial studies whether a swallowable camera (video capsule endoscopy) can help look inside the small intestine for people with Lynch syndrome. It may help doctors detect problems earlier or more clearly by improving how the small bowel is checked.
This study tests a special CAD-EYE system to help detect abnormal (potentially cancer-related) growths during colonoscopy in people with Lynch syndrome. It may improve how reliably clinicians find lesions early, when treatment can be easier.
This study looks at how well a tiny camera in a pill (capsule endoscopy) can find early growths or cancer in the small intestine of people with Lynch syndrome. Lynch syndrome increases your risk for certain cancers, and this test might help catch them earlier.
This trial tests a new type of camera capsule that takes pictures of the lower part of your digestive tract. It may be an option for people who are healthy or have Lynch Syndrome and have had a recent normal colonoscopy.
This study is testing whether a simple blood test can safely replace some of the more invasive procedures used to monitor people with Lynch syndrome, a condition that increases the risk of certain cancers (especially colorectal and uterine). If the blood test works as well, it could mean fewer colonoscopies and other invasive tests for those with Lynch syndrome.
