NCT ID NCT06741293

First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at bacteria in stool samples from 30,000 people aged 40-74 in Portugal to find new markers for early colorectal cancer detection. Researchers will compare gut microbiome patterns with standard screening tests and colonoscopy results. The goal is to develop a more accurate, non-invasive screening method to catch cancer earlier and save lives.
