Could a simple test spot colon cancer early? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT07366554
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will examine genetic changes in colon polyps and stool samples from 32 Korean adults to find markers that could help detect colon cancer earlier. Researchers will compare DNA methylation levels in polyp tissue versus normal tissue. The goal is to improve screening and personalize follow-up for people at risk.
