Blood test for large pre-cancerous colon growths
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study is developing a simple blood test that looks for DNA from large pre-cancerous polyps in the colon. The goal is to catch these growths earlier and help prevent colorectal cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You need to have a large (at least 10 mm) non-cancerous growth in your colon or rectum that is scheduled for removal.
- You must not have had colorectal cancer or any other active cancer (because it could affect the test results).
- You must be able to give written permission to take part in the study.

This study uses a simple blood test (liquid biopsy) to look for tiny bits of cancer DNA after surgery for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver. It aims to see if this test can find cancer earlier than standard scans, which may help guide future treatment decisions.
This trial uses a simple blood test to look for tiny bits of tumor DNA after colon cancer surgery. If found, it may help doctors catch any remaining cancer early and guide further treatment.
This trial studies a blood test (called ctDNA) in people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver and is being removed with curative surgery. The goal is to see how the blood test can help with planning and improving treatment after surgery.
This study tests a new blood test that might help detect colorectal cancer. If you're already planning a colonoscopy or colorectal surgery, your participation could help improve early detection.
This trial is for people with stage II colon cancer who are not currently getting chemotherapy. It uses a blood test to look for tumor DNA, so doctors can decide if chemotherapy might help prevent the cancer from coming back.
This study checks a special blood test (circulating tumor DNA methylation) to help guide follow-up after surgery for non-metastatic colon cancer. It may help find whether additional treatment or closer monitoring is needed based on the test results.
