Could your genes be causing false alarms in cancer screening?
NCT ID NCT05329870
Summary
This study aimed to understand why some people get a positive result on a common stool test for colon cancer, but then a follow-up colonoscopy finds nothing wrong. Researchers wanted to check if a person's genetic tendency to bleed a little more easily could cause these 'false positive' test results. They planned to compare saliva samples from people with positive and negative test results to look for genetic differences.
