Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Early onset colorectal cancer, defined as colorectal malignancy occurring before age 50, has been rising globally. Increasing molecular evidence suggests that early onset colorectal cancer is not merely a premature form of late-onset colorectal cancer but a distinct biologic entity with unique genomic and transcriptomic profiles. METHODS: A systematic PubMed search using the terms "early onset...
