Summary
This study is looking for 400 adults in Portugal, aged 40 to 74, who have recently been diagnosed with colorectal cancer but have not yet started treatment. Researchers want to see if the types and genes of bacteria in a person's stool can help detect cancer earlier, especially in people under 50. Participants will provide stool samples and answer questions about their diet and lifestyle. The goal is to create a non-invasive test that could lead to earlier detection and better outcomes.
