Colorectal adenocarcinoma in patients less than 40 years old

Abstract: Carcinoma of the colorectum knows no age barrier. To date, more than 1,400 cases have been reported to occur in persons less than 40 years old. Our experience with 70 patients treated over a ten-year interval is reviewed. Signs and symptoms in the young are not distinctive. Diagnosis depends on a high index of suspicion and appropriate investigative procedures. Survival times are shorter in the patients who have mucinous and anaplastic tumors, and their incidences seem to be increased in this age segment. Over… Show more

“…5 Many articles have previously reported poor outcomes for young rectal cancer patients relative to the older population. [6][7][8][9][10][11] These young patients have been portrayed as having more aggressive disease (i.e., more advanced stage and grade) and worse five-year survival. However, these studies tend to be small, and reflect single-institution experiences, which may have various biases, including smaller sample sizes and inconsistent patient selection or referral patterns, and may not be representative of the nation.…”

“…Ähnlich stellten wir beim Tumorgrading fest, dass 31% junger Patienten schlecht differenzierte oder anaplastische Tumore hatten, verglichen mit 17,3% in der älteren Bevölkerung (p < 0,001). Unser bevölkerungsbasiertes Ergebnis erklärt die vorher dargestellte weite Bandbreite junger Patienten mit schlecht differenzierten oder anaplastischen Tumoren näher (8,7-54,2%) [6,9].…”
