Study to find risk factors for breast and colon cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Skin clinical trials.
This study is trying to understand what factors might raise the risk of breast cancer and colon (large bowel) cancer. You may be enrolled either if you have a confirmed cancer diagnosis (cases) or if you do not have cancer (controls).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- If you have cancer: your breast or colon cancer must be confirmed by tissue test results (biopsy/pathology).
- If you are in the cancer group: it must be breast cancer or colorectal (colon) cancer specifically.
- If you are in the control group: you must not have any cancer diagnosis.
- You will need to fit either the “case” group (cancer confirmed) or the “control” group (no cancer).

This study looks at how gut bacteria and immune activity differ in normal, pre-cancer, and cancer colon tissue. It may help researchers understand what changes in the body are linked to colon growth and how they could be targeted in the future.
This research collects health information (and for some groups, stool samples) to better understand why colorectal cancer happens in different age groups. If you fit the age and diagnosis criteria, your participation could help researchers find patterns that may improve future care.
This study is collecting information from people with newly diagnosed colon or rectal cancer, to better understand the disease and support future research. It may help you and others by improving how colorectal cancer is studied and potentially treated over time.
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut, your immune system, and colon cancer interact. It aims to understand these connections to improve future treatments.
This study looks at special tiny cell-signal particles (called exosomes) and related pathways to understand colorectal cancer. Your results from samples may help researchers learn how these signals relate to the disease after surgery.
This study looks at how early-onset colorectal cancer treatment affects reproductive and sexual health over time. It asks eligible people to complete questionnaires so researchers can understand and possibly improve care during and after treatment.
