Scientists hunt genetic clues to rising colon cancer in young adults
NCT ID NCT02863107
Summary
This study aims to understand why colorectal cancer is increasingly affecting younger adults by comparing genetic and lifestyle factors between patients diagnosed before age 50 and those diagnosed later. Researchers will analyze DNA from 818 patients and their family members to identify inherited risk factors and genetic patterns. The findings could help identify people at higher risk and improve early detection strategies for this growing health concern.
