Genetic Risk Testing for Colorectal Cancer Screening
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how genetic risk information can help decide who needs colorectal cancer screening and when. Researchers want to see if testing for genetic risk factors improves screening decisions for people who haven't had a colonoscopy before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have never had a colonoscopy before
- Your doctor says you're due for colorectal cancer screening based on current guidelines
- You don't have a personal history of colorectal cancer
- You don't have inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis)
- You are medically able to have a colonoscopy and sedation (no serious health reasons that would make it unsafe)

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 study connects Black adults to genetic counseling and genetic testing to learn whether they may have an inherited cancer risk. It uses a simple risk screening tool, including visits by phone or video, to guide next steps.
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 checks how well a specific stool test (a sample of poop) can find colorectal cancer or “advanced adenoma” before a colonoscopy. If you’re the right age and at average risk, it may help evaluate a less invasive way to screen for problems.
This study is testing a new tool to help predict a person's risk of colorectal cancer. If you are already scheduled for a colonoscopy, your data could help improve this risk model for others.
This study looks at whether routine lab tests can help find colon polyps (growths that can turn into cancer) early. It may help doctors diagnose polyps more quickly and simply.
