NCT ID NCT01555450
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This French study tested whether a patient navigator—someone who calls and guides people through the screening process—could increase participation in colorectal cancer screening. Nearly 29,000 adults aged 50-74 who had not completed screening were included. The goal was to see if this support could also reduce social and geographic inequalities in screening rates.

What this could lead to
