Early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence in adults aged under 50 is increasing. There is a critical lack of knowledge regarding the challenges faced by early-onset CRC patients and their experiences of treatment.
Conclusions
The small(21)study highlights numerous unique issues experienced by the early-onset CRC patient group during treatment. There is a need for change in clinical practice, along with the development of international guidelines and tailored resources for both patients and healthcare professionals, in order to improve care.
