Colorectal cancer screening study for veterans ages 45-49
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at ways to help veterans in their late 40s get screened for colorectal cancer earlier, which can prevent the disease. It aims to find the best methods to encourage timely screening in this age group.

This study tests a program to help people learn about colorectal cancer screening. If you are 45 to 75 and due for screening, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a computer program can help more adults ages 45-49 get screened for colorectal cancer. If you are due for screening and see a Penn Medicine doctor, you may be able to join.
This study is looking for people aged 45 to 54 who have not been screened for colorectal cancer (CRC) yet. It aims to understand and improve screening rates. You may be eligible if you are a patient at the health center and have no personal or family history of colorectal cancer.
This study looks at ways to help veterans get screened for liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) and colorectal cancer. The goal is to see if certain programs or tools can make it easier for veterans to complete these important cancer screenings.
This study follows people age 40 and older to see how well colorectal cancer screening works in everyday community care. You may answer risk and follow-up questions over time, and the study looks for any cancer diagnoses that happen outside the study hospitals.
