Résumé
The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer has been rising over the last two decades. Tumors in young patients have distinct features compared to older patients. They predominantly arise in the distal colon and rectum and have poor histological features. Patients tend to present at a more advanced stage and be exposed to more aggressive management approaches; however, this has not translated into a significant survival benefit compared to their older counterparts. This chapter will share current evidence on risk factors and management options for early onset colorectal cancer with a focus on rectal cancer.
