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 checks tumor samples from people having surgery for colorectal cancer to look for a genetic condition called Lynch syndrome, which can increase the risk of other cancers. Finding it early can help you and your family take steps to protect your health.
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 study looks for inherited genes that may increase the risk of cancer. If you or your family have had certain patterns of cancer, you may be able to join and help researchers understand cancer genetics.
