Genetic risk study for colon cancer patients
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how your genetic background and ancestry affect your risk for colon cancer. If you have been diagnosed with colon cancer and have a tumor sample available, you may be able to help researchers develop better risk scores.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer (colorectal cancer)
- You have a tumor sample from a biopsy or surgery that can be tested
- Willing to sign a consent form
- Not pregnant

This study looks at genetic and other factors in people with certain cancers to better understand personal cancer risks and improve monitoring. It may help find ways to detect changes earlier.
This study looks at genetic reasons some families get colon cancer due to inherited (run-in-the-family) syndromes. It may help doctors better understand risk and tailor care for you or your relatives.
This study looks at how genetic risk information can help decide who needs colorectal cancer screening and when. Researchers want to see if testing for genetic risk factors improves screening decisions for people who haven't had a colonoscopy before.
This study looks at genetic changes linked to breast, ovarian, or digestive cancers. It may help doctors better understand inherited cancer risks.
This trial studies how patients with newly diagnosed colon cancer share genetic test results with their family members. It aims to improve communication and support after learning about hereditary risk.
This study looks at DNA (genetic information) from people and families who may have an inherited risk for cancer. It aims to find new genetic markers that can help explain cancer risk and guide future care.
