Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are permanent residents of Yangzhou aged 40 to 74 who can provide informed consent and complete follow-up assessments.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a history of colorectal cancer, other malignancies, or those currently receiving cancer treatment may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational cohort study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of polygene methylation detection for colorectal cancer screening among 80,000 permanent residents in Yangzhou. Participants will complete a colorectal cancer risk assessment questionnaire and undergo polygene methylation testing, with those testing positive referred for further validation through colonoscopy. The study will track outcomes over five years, assessing the sensitivity, specificity, and detection rates of precancerous lesions. The goal is to establish real-world effectiveness of this screening method in a large community setting.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance early detection of colorectal cancer, potentially improving patient outcomes through timely intervention.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using polygene methylation detection is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in enhancing colorectal cancer screening methods.
