Early-onset colorectal cancer (age under 50 years) (EOCRC) is an entity of undeniable importance, both because of its growing incidence, and the population it affects. Other current reviews emphasize the essential points regarding the clinical management and knowledge of its molecular bases. However, we intend to go one step further. With the increased significance of patient participation and disease experience in mind, we have integrated the voice of the patient to show the weaknesses and the needs, and next steps in the advancement of knowledge and management of EOCRC. This integrative review of the different perspectives, clinical, research and the patients themselves, can therefore be defined as an integrative needs assessment. Hence, this may be a first step in working towards an essential homogeneity of definitions and action.

Aims: Very early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) was defined as CRC diagnosed before the age of 35 proposed by the latest EOCRC management guideline. Until now, the disease burden of very EOCRC has never been reported. This study aimed to explore the burden of very EOCRC across the past three decades.

Background: The colorectal cancer mortality rate in China has exceeded that in many developing countries and is expected to further increase owing to multiple factors, including the aging population. However, the optimal policy for colorectal cancer screening is unknown.
Methods: We synthesized the most up-to-date data using a 12-state Markov model populated with a cohort of Chinese men and women born during 1949-1988, and evaluated 16 conventional and 40 risk-tailored schemes for colorectal cancer screening, considering possible combinations of age (starting at 40 + years and ending at 75 years), frequency, and strategy (standard colonoscopy, fecal immunochemical testing with colonoscopy if positive, or risk-tailored).

Background: Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignancy globally. Early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) is becoming a growing healthcare focus globally, particularly in North America. We estimated trends in incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for EOCRC in Canada between 1990 and 2019.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality in those aged 50 years and above have decreased over the last 2 decades. However, there is a rising incidence in CRC among individuals under 50 years of age, termed early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC). EOCRC patients are more advanced stage at diagnosis and may suffer more psychosocial, emotional and financial distress.

Background: Recent increases in colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality under age 50 have led the US to recommend starting screening at age 45 years instead of 50. Several other countries are now also reconsidering the age to start CRC screening.
Aims: To aid decision makers in making an informed decision about lowering the starting age of CRC screening in their jurisdictions.
