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 looks at gastrointestinal cancers (like colorectal, stomach, esophagus, and pancreatic) in people diagnosed between ages 18 and 49. It aims to understand how tumor features and lifestyle habits are related, and it does not test a new treatment.
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 follows patients with colorectal cancer over time to understand the disease better. It does not test a new treatment, but collects information from medical records and visits.
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.
