Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are individuals aged 40 and older who are capable of completing the required assessments and follow-ups.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a history of colorectal cancer or other malignancies, or those who have undergone colorectal resection, will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study aims to validate the effectiveness of polygene methylation detection for colorectal cancer screening in a large community cohort. Participants aged 40 and older will complete a risk assessment questionnaire and undergo various tests, including fecal immunochemical tests and blood tests for cancer markers. Those with positive results will receive a colonoscopy for further examination and diagnosis. Follow-up assessments will occur at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years to monitor outcomes and survival rates.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve early detection and screening methods for colorectal cancer, potentially leading to better patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using polygene methylation detection for cancer screening, suggesting that this approach may be effective.
