Study on early-onset gastrointestinal cancers in young adults
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 49 years old when first diagnosed
- You have a newly diagnosed, confirmed gastrointestinal cancer (colorectal, stomach/esophageal, or pancreatic)
- You have not yet started any treatment for this cancer
- You can give consent and share your medical and lifestyle history
- You may have had other cancers in the past that are not in the gastrointestinal tract

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 trial studies treatments for young adults (ages 18-39) with cancers of the digestive system or neuroendocrine tumors. It aims to find better ways to help this age group, no matter the cancer stage or grade.
This study looks at factors that may contribute to early-onset colorectal cancer (cancer in the colon or rectum diagnosed at a young age). It compares people with early-onset colorectal cancer to people without cancer to better understand possible causes and risks.
This study aims to improve care for younger adults (ages 18-50) with gastrointestinal (GI) tumors. Researchers will test ways to better support patients during and after treatment. If you are 18-50 and being treated for a GI tumor at Heidelberg University Hospital, you may be able to join.
This study is looking for people aged 40-75 who have never had cancer to participate in early screening for gastrointestinal tumors. The goal is to find cancers early when they are easier to treat.
