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 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 is testing a new way to help doctors better detect colorectal cancer by building a model that uses your risk factors and colonoscopy results. If you join, you'll answer a questionnaire and let the researchers use your routine colonoscopy and medical data to improve this model.
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.
