First seen Jun 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study aims to see if a new, noninvasive test that analyzes odors from breath and intestinal gas can detect colorectal cancer and precancerous growths early. About 453 participants (people with colorectal cancer, precancerous lesions, or healthy individuals) will provide breath, urine, stool, and gas samples. The test's accuracy will be compared to standard colonoscopy results. No treatments are involved—only sample collection and data review.
