Could a simple questionnaire spot colorectal cancer before It's too late?

NCT ID NCT07692555

First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study aims to develop a diagnostic model that predicts the risk of colorectal cancer and advanced polyps in adults aged 18 to 80 who are already scheduled for a routine colonoscopy in China. Participants fill out a questionnaire about their lifestyle, medical history, and symptoms before the procedure. Researchers will then use that information, along with colonoscopy results, to build and test a risk-prediction tool using statistical and machine-learning methods. The goal is to create a simple, non-invasive way to identify people who need a colonoscopy most urgently.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple risk-prediction tool that helps doctors identify who is most likely to have colorectal cancer or advanced polyps, potentially improving screening efficiency.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The model may not perform well in other populations or settings, and it relies on self-reported data which can be inaccurate.
