Stool test duo could revolutionize cancer surveillance in colitis

This study tests whether combining two stool tests—fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and fecal calprotectin (FC)—can accurately detect precancerous or cancerous changes in people with long-standing ulcerative colitis. Participants will provide stool samples and then undergo a special colonoscopy (linked color imaging) to confirm findings. The goal is to see if this non-invasive approach can effectively guide surveillance and potentially reduce the need for frequent invasive procedures.
