I am also extremely concerned. We need comprehensive studies that are able to correlate the distinct biological features of young-onset CRC with the exposome to understand the etiologic basis of the rise. 1/2
Gravely concerned about the earlier incidence and disproportionate and escalating mortality of Colorectal Cancer in young adults. Must screen earlier, systematically. Must understand and influence exposure (food, alcohol, other). What is needed

The Oncofertility Program established by
@AnnPartridgeMD
at
@DanaFarber
is one of the most important resources we have for our young patients
@DFarberYoungCRC
. Their team is collaborative and supportive. This is what it means to care for the whole patient.
The risks to fertility vary depending on a patient’s treatment,” Partridge relates. “Our approach helps patients consider whether fertility preservation is right for them, and, if they decide to pursue it, helps set up the necessary appointments.”
