Blood and stool test for digestive tract cancer screening
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 74 years old.
- You are already scheduled to have a digestive tract endoscopy (a procedure to look inside your digestive system).
- You are willing to be followed for 5 years as part of the study.
- You have not had an upper endoscopy (a scope of your stomach and food pipe) in the past year.
- You have never had any type of cancer.
- You do not have a severe illness (like serious heart, lung, kidney, liver, or blood disease) that would make screening less helpful.

This study tests a new way to screen for stomach and digestive cancers using a combination of tests. It compares different screening plans to see which works best for people in their middle years.
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 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.
This study tests a new way to screen for stomach cancer by looking for special DNA markers in your stool. It might help find cancer early without needing an endoscopy right away.
This study is testing a blood-based test to detect unique molecules (called miRNAs) that may signal the presence of several types of gut or digestive system cancers. The goal is to develop a simple screening tool that could catch these cancers earlier.
This study is looking for people aged 40-75 who have never had cancer to participate in early screening for gastrointestinal tumors. The goal is to find cancers early when they are easier to treat.
