First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will follow 200 people with colorectal cancer and healthy controls to explore how genes, blood sugar, and immune responses are connected. Researchers will analyze blood and tissue samples to find shared genetic factors that may influence both cancer and diabetes. The goal is to better understand these links and identify potential markers for personalized care.
