A considerable amount of recent research has focused on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in colorectal cancer (CRC), aiming to improve outcomes in CRC. However, AI for young onset colorectal cancer (yoCRC)-defined as colorectal cancer in patients less than 50 years old-is not nearly as explored, and its role in the prevention, detection, and management of yoCRC remains largely unknown. To address this gap, we performed an integrative review on AI in yoCRC.

Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed 5-year survival rates for colorectal cancer patients in Mexico who were treated under Seguro Popular, a public health insurance system.
  • It involved 1418 patients diagnosed between 2013 and 2016, revealing an overall survival rate of 50% and noting that 78.1% were diagnosed at advanced stages (III and IV).
  • Findings emphasized the importance of early screening, particularly as younger patients with metastatic disease had a poorer prognosis compared to older patients.

Background/objectives: Recent epidemiological studies have revealed an upward trend in young-onset colorectal cancer (YOCRC) overall, whereas specific data on young-onset colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (YONEN) remain limited. This study investigated the demographic characteristics and survival trends in YONEN and compared these with those of young-onset colorectal adenocarcinoma (YOADC), the most common histologic subtype of YOCRC.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted from 2000 to 2019 using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.

NRAS belongs to the RAS family of GTPases. In colorectal cancer (CRC), NRAS mutations are rare compared to KRAS, but may lead to worse outcomes. We report the functional characterization of the novel NRAS mutants-G48C, Q43K, and E37K-identified in Filipino young-onset CRC patients.
