For Younger Adults, a Colorectal Cancer Diagnosis Impacts Their Lives Much Differently Than Older Adults
American College of Surgeons (ACS)

Younger adults with colon cancer tend to be diagnosed at a later stage and have more aggressive types of tumors. Additionally, young patients living with colorectal cancer have long-term, adverse consequences on their lives, which are different from the impact the disease* has on older adults, according to two studies being presented at the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Clinical Congress 2024 in San Francisco, California.
