Study of early colorectal cancer risk factors in younger adults
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re age 18–49 if you have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer
- Your diagnosis must be confirmed by tissue testing (biopsy or surgical sample)
- If you are a control (not diagnosed), you must have no personal history of cancer and a negative colon check test (FOBT or colonoscopy)
- Your colorectal cancer diagnosis must not be age 50 or older
- You should not have certain conditions that can change diet or strongly increase risk (for example, celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease)
- You must be able to sign consent and complete the electronic questionnaire

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 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 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 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.
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 how bacteria and other microbes in your gut are linked to colorectal cancer risk and outcomes. By collecting stool samples from people newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer, researchers hope to find patterns that could improve understanding and future treatments.
