Could a simple swab detect lung and pancreatic cancer?

NCT ID NCT05102110

Summary

This study is testing whether a simple rectal mucus sample can detect lung, pancreatic, bladder, and colorectal cancers by looking for DNA changes. Researchers will collect samples from 450 people using a special swab device to see if cancer-related genetic markers appear in the mucus. The goal is to develop a less invasive screening method that could help identify cancers earlier.
