Gut bacteria test could spot colon cancer early
NCT ID NCT07321548
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at the gut bacteria of 1,757 people who had colon polyps or colorectal cancer in the past. The goal was to see if certain bacteria patterns could help predict who is at high risk for new polyps or cancer. Researchers hope this will lead to a simple, non-invasive stool test to guide who needs a colonoscopy.
