Addressing the rise of early-onset colorectal cancer
Cet article passe en revue les connaissances concernant les cancers colorectaux de survenue précoce : données épidémiologiques, caractéristiques cliniques et biologiques, facteurs de risque, stratégies de prévention et de dépistage précoce
In this issue of the journal we publish the first of a two-part collaborative Series with The Lancet Oncology focusing on early-onset colorectal cancer. As discussed in a previous Editorial, the epidemiology of colorectal cancer has changed in recent decades: although incidence in older age groups has shown signs of stabilisation or decline, new cases among individuals younger than 50 years—ie, early-onset colorectal cancer—have been rising worldwide.
