Study of colon cancer in younger adults
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at the clinic and lab features of colon cancer in people diagnosed at a young age. Your information from your diagnosis and treatment may help doctors understand how colon cancer differs by age.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with colorectal (colon or rectal) cancer.
- Your care and treatment happened after your diagnosis (you are already in treatment/being treated).
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be able to choose whether to participate.
- You must agree to join the study.

This study looks at colorectal cancer that starts early in life (ages 18–40). It compares it to the same cancer in people over 60 to find differences. You can join if you have had colorectal cancer and can provide a sample of your tumor.
This study looks at colorectal cancer in younger patients who wouldn't normally be screened. Researchers want to understand how this cancer develops in people under the typical screening age.
This study compares patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer at a younger age (under 50) to those diagnosed later in life. By looking at tissue samples and patient surveys, researchers hope to understand differences in the disease and improve care for all ages.
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 aims to find better ways to detect and treat colorectal cancer in younger adults (ages 18–49). It includes people with both early-stage and advanced cancer.
This study looks at factors that may contribute to early-onset colorectal cancer (cancer in the colon or rectum diagnosed at a young age). It compares people with early-onset colorectal cancer to people without cancer to better understand possible causes and risks.
