Improving detection and treatment of early-onset colorectal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 49 years old when first diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
- Your cancer has spread within the colon/rectum (local) or to other parts of the body (metastatic).
- The diagnosis has been confirmed with a tissue sample (biopsy).
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form in Dutch.

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.
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.
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 aims to improve detection of colorectal cancer in people diagnosed before age 50. It compares samples from patients with cancer to those without to find new early detection methods.
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.
