- The study examines the rising rates of early onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) among African American patients, highlighting significant differences between EOCRC (<45 years) and late-onset colorectal cancer (LOCRC) (>45 years) in terms of demographics and clinical presentation.
- It found that EOCRC cases increased from just over 6% to over 13% of total CRC cases since 2010, with a higher family history of CRC and different symptom profiles, such as more abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits.
- The study also noted that EOCRC patients had a higher rate of metastasis at diagnosis and took longer to undergo surgery compared to LOCRC patients.
