Article Synopsis
- The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (diagnosed in individuals under 50) is on the rise globally, with distinct clinical and molecular characteristics compared to late-onset cases.
- Factors contributing to this increase may include diet, obesity, antibiotic use, and changes in gut microbiome, with most cases occurring sporadically rather than being genetically inherited.
- There is a need for tailored preventive and therapeutic approaches for early-onset colorectal cancer, as younger patients often present with more severe disease stages but similar outcomes to older patients after treatment.
Background: 1,3-beta-D Glucan (BDG) assay has good accuracy for distinguishing patients with invasive fungal infections from patients without. Some procedures and medications affect BDG levels, resulting in false-positive BDG results. The extent of intestinal surgery on BDG kinetics is unknown.

Methods: We performed an analysis of prospectively collected data of patients who underwent a same-sided stoma reposition with 3D funnel-shaped mesh augmentation in intraperitoneal (IPOM) position at our department between the years of 2012 and 2015.
