Colorectal carcinoma in different age groups
2012
Purpose
Although colorectal cancer is typical in the older population, tumor onset before age 40 is not infrequent. However, the behavior, characteristics, and prognosis of this disease in young patients are unclear when compared to the older population. It is believed that young patients have a poor prognosis. We hypothesized that young patients have a poor prognosis because they have advanced-stage cancer with more aggressive pathologic features.
