Summary
This study is testing whether a new, simple method of collecting rectal mucus can find 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 approach could lead to a non-invasive screening tool for multiple cancers.
