Could a simple stool test replace dozens of colonoscopies for High-Risk patients?
NCT ID NCT06898996
Summary
This study aims to see if a simple, at-home stool test (called FIT) can be as accurate as colonoscopy for detecting colorectal cancer in people with Lynch syndrome. Lynch syndrome is a genetic condition that greatly increases the risk of colon cancer, requiring frequent colonoscopies for life. Researchers will enroll 400 people with Lynch syndrome to compare the results of the stool test with their regular colonoscopy and also ask about their preferences for less invasive testing options.
