The LUNAR-2 blood test has been developed to detect malignant disease in screen-relevant patients who would otherwise undergo screening for malignant disease using invasive methodologies such as colonoscopy. This study will perform a blood draw prior to the patient undergoing the standard of care colonoscopy (and all associated preparatory medications) and retrospectively compare the performance characteristics of the LUNAR-2 test with the findings of the colonoscopy. Outcomes of patients at one and two-years post-procedure will be collected as secondary endpoints.
