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 trial tests a new stool-based screening test that may find colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas (precancerous growths) early. It studies whether the test works well compared with the standard colonoscopy, so it could offer an easier, less invasive screening option in the future.
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 is looking at whether routine lab tests can help find colorectal adenomas (non-cancerous polyps in the colon) earlier. If you are having a colonoscopy and are found to have such a polyp, you may join to help improve early detection.
This study is testing a new way to help doctors better detect colorectal cancer by building a model that uses your risk factors and colonoscopy results. If you join, you'll answer a questionnaire and let the researchers use your routine colonoscopy and medical data to improve this model.
This study looks at how your genetic background and ancestry affect your risk for colon cancer. If you have been diagnosed with colon cancer and have a tumor sample available, you may be able to help researchers develop better risk scores.
