Characteristics of Colon Cancer in Young Patients
Official title: Clinicopathological Characteristics of Colon Cancer in Young Age
Run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital · NCT05365412 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at how colon cancer affects younger patients differently based on their age and gender to see what factors might influence their recovery.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer who are treated at the participating institution.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients under the age of 18 or those unable to consent will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study investigates the clinical, pathophysiological, and molecular characteristics of colorectal cancer (CRC) in young patients, focusing on how these factors differ by age and sex. The goal is to analyze the prognosis of CRC based on these characteristics and identify factors that influence patient outcomes. By examining data from patients diagnosed and treated for colorectal cancer, the study aims to provide insights into the unique aspects of CRC in younger populations.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved understanding and management of colorectal cancer in younger patients.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on colorectal cancer, this specific focus on young patients and sex differences is relatively novel.
