Could breast cancer survivors face higher colon cancer risk?

NCT ID NCT07678099

First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026

Summary

This study investigates whether women who have completed breast cancer treatment have a higher chance of developing colorectal polyps or colon cancer. Researchers will perform screening colonoscopies in 216 asymptomatic breast cancer survivors and check for abnormal growths. The goal is to understand if shared risk factors mean these women need earlier or more frequent colon cancer screening.

Active substance

Screening colonoscopy

What this could lead to

If breast cancer survivors are found to have more colorectal polyps, this could lead to personalized screening guidelines to catch colon cancer earlier in this group.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find a strong link, and results may not apply to all breast cancer survivors.
