Summary

This study looks at 150 adults aged 18-49 who are newly diagnosed with early-onset gastrointestinal cancer. Researchers will collect information on the cancer's features, patients' lifestyle habits, and how the disease progresses over 12 months. The goal is to better understand this type of cancer in younger people, not to test a new treatment.
