Study summary

This is a population-based retrospective study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry and National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) to look at colorectal cancer (CRC) patients younger than 35 and comparing them against CRC patients older than 35 years of age.

Read the detailed description

Specifically, investigator want to investigate the effect of having a diagnosis of CRC before the age of 35 years on:disease stage at presentation, insurance status at diagnosis, treatment patterns by stage, and adjusted cancer-specific survival. The hypothesis is that patients younger than 35 years of age with CRC will present with more advanced disease at diagnosis but will have longer survival overall through more aggressive therapy.

Interventions

  • OtherColorectal cancer

    CRC is a disease that is often associated with older adults (\<50 years). CRC remains the second most common cause of cancer death in males and the third most common cancer death in women. Despite this, CRC incidence has steadily declined in older adults; however, there is a concerning rise of incidence of colorectal cancer in young patients. The incidence of CRC in men and women under the age of 50 steadily increased 2.1 percent per year from 1992 through 2012.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 30, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
