Core Tip	The value of stool DNA testing could be expanded beyond colorectal cancer screening by simultaneously targeting gastrointestinal cancers above the colon. Early data suggest technical feasibility for such pan-cancer detection. However, while multi-organ stool DNA testing (MUST) would seem intuitively to have broad appeal; patient perceptions have not been evaluated. In this exploratory study, we demonstrate that patients were interested in using MUST if it was available to them. The potential unique ability to detect multiple cancers was its most distinguishing and attractive feature. General population surveys are warranted to corroborate these early findings.
