Summary

This study is testing whether a simple rectal mucus sample can detect DNA changes linked to lung, pancreatic, bladder, and colorectal cancers. Researchers will collect samples from 450 adults using a special device and analyze them for genetic and epigenetic markers. The goal is to see if this non-invasive method can spot cancers early, but it is a feasibility study, not a treatment trial.
