Understanding Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer in Younger Patients
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at colorectal cancer in younger patients who wouldn't normally be screened. Researchers want to understand how this cancer develops in people under the typical screening age.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer
- You are younger than the standard screening age (typically under 45–50 years old)
- You are willing to participate in research about your cancer and medical history

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 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 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 research collects health information (and for some groups, stool samples) to better understand why colorectal cancer happens in different age groups. If you fit the age and diagnosis criteria, your participation could help researchers find patterns that may improve future care.
This study looks at patterns of colorectal (colon and rectum) findings in people who are having a colonoscopy as part of routine care. It may help improve how doctors detect and understand colorectal cancer and related growths over time.
This study looks at how early-onset colorectal cancer treatment affects reproductive and sexual health over time. It asks eligible people to complete questionnaires so researchers can understand and possibly improve care during and after treatment.
