The goal of this observational study is to evaluate if a blood test for circulating progastrin (hPG80) and transposable elements (TEs) can accurately predict colorectal cancer (CRC) or polyps in adult patients referred to the 2-week wait (2WW) or Straight to Test (STT) pathways for suspected lower gastrointestinal cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can plasma hPG80 levels accurately predict a diagnosis of CRC or polyps in patients undergoing standard 2WW investigations? Can transposable elements (TEs) in the plasma serve as predictive biomarkers for CRC diagnosis in…
