Colon Cancer Family Registry Overview

The Colon Cancer Family Registry (Colon CFR) is an international research infrastructure for investigators interested in conducting population and clinic-based interdisciplinary studies on the genetic and molecular epidemiology of colon cancer and its behavioral implications. A central goal of the Colon CFR is the translation of this research to the clinical and prevention setting for the benefit of Registry participants and the general public. The Colon CFR has information and biospecimens contributed by greater than 11,300 families across the spectrum of risk for colon cancers and from population-based or relative controls.
