Early-onset colorectal cancer study
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer
- You are between 18 and 40 years old when diagnosed, or you were diagnosed after age 60
- You are willing to give your consent if you are alive
- You have a stored tumor sample (from biopsy or surgery) available for testing

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.
This study observes people aged 18-49 with a new gastrointestinal cancer (colorectal, stomach/esophageal, or pancreatic) to learn how their lifestyle habits and tumor characteristics affect their health. By participating, you help researchers understand why these cancers occur in younger adults.
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 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 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 retrospective study uses existing colorectal cancer imaging and/or preserved tissue samples to support more precise (personalized) research. It may help researchers better understand colorectal cancer over time, but it does not involve new treatment.
