Progress of clinicopathological features, diagnosis and treatment and screening of early-onset colorectal cancer / 肿瘤研究与临床

ABSTRACT

The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer is increasing year by year, and it occupies an important position in colorectal cancer. Most of the characteristics of patients with early-onset colorectal cancer are different from those with late-onset colorectal cancer, the patients are diagnosed in a late stage, and their pathological manifestations show a type of poor prognosis. At present, there is a lack of consensus and guideline for the diagnosis, treatment and screening of early-onset colorectal cancer. A full understanding of the characteristics of early-onset colorectal cancer helps to understand its pathogenesis and guide screening and treatment to reduce the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer. This article reviews the clinicopathological characteristics, molecular pathological mechanisms, diagnosis and treatment, and prognosis of early-onset colorectal cancer, in order to provide references for elucidating its etiology and formulating scientific and standardized screening strategies.
