Simple blood test for colon cancer on the horizon?
NCT ID NCT07153458
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study is looking for new substances in the blood that could signal colorectal cancer (CRC) or pre-cancerous growths. Researchers will compare blood samples from 60 people: those with CRC, those with a pre-cancerous polyp, and healthy individuals. The goal is to create a scoring system that could predict or diagnose CRC without invasive procedures.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple blood test to detect colorectal cancer earlier or predict its development.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study, not a treatment trial. The biomarkers identified may not prove accurate enough for clinical use.
