Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Survival Among Patients With Young-Onset Colorectal Cancer [Gastrointestinal Cancer]
Conclusion
Survival after CRC diagnosis at a young age is significantly worse among NHBs compared with NHWs, even among patients with early-stage disease. Further study is needed to determine whether differences in tumor biology and/or treatment are associated with racial disparities in outcomes, which would have implications for CRC treatment and prevention.
