Patients who are eligible for a colonoscopy (i.e., average risk individuals 45 years of age and older who are not up-to-date with screening guidelines) will be enrolled in the study. Stool samples returned to Geneoscopy's Laboratories by the participant will be subjected to the Colosense test system, and a result will be generated. The result will be compared to an optical colonoscopy to determine: 1) sensitivity for colorectal cancer, advanced adenomas, and other precancerous adenomas and 2) specificity for hyperplastic polyps and no findings on a colonoscopy. This study will be used for the clinical validation of the Colosense test.
This study will be a prospective analysis conducted by Geneoscopy Inc. to evaluate the Colosense test, which is a multi-target stool RNA test for colorectal screening.
