Understanding Young Onset Colorectal Cancer
This study is collecting information to better understand colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon or rectum) that is diagnosed in younger individuals (before age 50). Researchers are creating a database of information from patients with young onset colorectal cancer. You may be able to participate if you have been diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancer and are between 18 and 49 years old. The main goal is to build this database over one year to help researchers learn how young onset colorectal cancer might be similar to or different from colorectal cancer diagnosed later in life, and to support future research.
- Study design
