Stool test to screen for digestive tract cancers
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a stool sample can help detect early signs of cancers in the stomach, colon, and related organs. Researchers will compare stool test results with findings from standard camera procedures to see if this non-invasive approach might catch cancer earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are scheduled to have both an upper endoscopy (camera down your throat) and a colonoscopy (camera through your colon)
- You have not had any endoscopy screening in the past 12 months
- You have no history of stomach, colon, or other digestive tract cancer
- You are willing to provide a stool sample and return for follow-up visits over 2 years
- You do not have severe heart, lung, kidney, or liver disease that would make screening risky or unhelpful

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 aims to find a better way to screen for stomach and colon cancers. You will be asked to provide a stool sample, and possibly have an endoscopy (a camera test), to see if combined screening can catch cancer 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 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 is testing a new way to screen for cancers of the digestive tract using a simple blood and stool test. It is for people who are already scheduled to have a digestive tract endoscopy, and it may help find cancers earlier without extra invasive procedures.
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.
