Read our Colorectal Cancer research guide →Researchers are developing a new blood test that can detect colorectal cancer early by looking for specific DNA changes in your bloodstream. This study is collecting blood samples and medical information from people who have recently been diagnosed with colorectal cancer (before they start treatment) and from people at average risk who are getting routine colorectal cancer screening. The goal is to refine and test this blood-based tool to see how well it can find colorectal cancer and precancerous growths.
Colorectal cancer is often easier to treat when caught early, but current screening methods like colonoscopy can be uncomfortable and inconvenient for many people. This research aims to create a simpler blood test that could make early detection easier and encourage more people to get screened.

Your participation involves providing one or more blood samples at a medical visit, along with sharing relevant medical information and colonoscopy results with the research team. If you're newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer, this would happen before your surgery or treatment begins. If you're in the screening group, the blood draw would happen during or around your scheduled colonoscopy. The entire process is relatively simple and non-invasive—mainly involving standard blood draws.
