A study looking at genes of people in Scotland who have developed bowel cancer (SOCCS3)

This study is gathering information from people in Scotland with bowel cancer, to see if the information can identify other people at risk of developing the disease and fully understand the genetic basis of bowel cancer. The study also aims to try to understand which factors affect how long people live after a diagnosis of bowel cancer, such as their family history, changes to genes and environmental factors.

The study is supported by Cancer Research UK.
