Blood test could spare thousands from unnecessary colonoscopies
NCT ID NCT06023004
Summary
This study is testing whether a simple blood test can help decide which patients need a colonoscopy after a diverticulitis episode. Currently, guidelines recommend a colonoscopy for everyone with diverticulitis to rule out colorectal cancer, but cancer is found in less than 2% of these cases. The research will see if a blood test that looks for cancer DNA can accurately identify the patients who actually need the colonoscopy, potentially saving many people from an invasive and uncomfortable procedure.
