Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer in Average Risk Adults 20 –39 Years of Age: A Population-Based National Study
ConclusionThis is one of the largest studies to date to describe the epidemiology of EoCRC in USA. We found EoCRC to occur predominantly in the Caucasian and female population. EoCRC presented more frequently with left-sided and rectal CRC. We also identified signs/symptoms as well as comorbidities associated with EoCRC. Patients with these features may benefit from earlier screening.
