Study of colorectal cancer records to improve future research
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This retrospective study uses existing colorectal cancer imaging and/or preserved tissue samples to support more precise (personalized) research. It may help researchers better understand colorectal cancer over time, but it does not involve new treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
- You were over 18 years old when you were diagnosed.
- Your medical records include usable scan images and/or preserved tumor tissue.
- Either formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks or enough tumor slides are available (at least 10, ideally 20).
- The study team was unable to contact you to get consent under local rules.

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 mainly watches and records health information from adults with colorectal cancer (or a strong suspicion of it). It collects past tumor tissue and other clinical details to better understand the disease and care.
This study looks at colorectal cancer patients who are planning curative surgery and collects related outcomes and lab “biomarker” information to better understand the disease. Your participation may help researchers connect test results to treatment results over time.
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 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 patterns of colorectal (colon and rectum) findings in people who are having a colonoscopy as part of routine care. It may help improve how doctors detect and understand colorectal cancer and related growths over time.
