Gustavo Rossi, Chief of Colorectal Surgery Section and Vice chairman of General Surgery Service at Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“I’m pleased to share that the multicenter study ‘Early-onset colorectal cancer in Argentina’ has just been published in The Lancet
This national collaborative effort analyzed 1,829 patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery across 32 centers in Argentina, providing one of the most comprehensive datasets on early-onset colorectal cancer in our region.
main
Key findings:
- 15.4% of colorectal cancers occurred in patients under 50 years of age
- Younger patients presented more frequently with advanced disease and lymph node involvement
- Metastatic disease was more than twice as common in early-onset cases
- A predominance of rectal tumors was observed in younger patients
These results add important evidence from hashtag#LatinAmerica to the global discussion on the rising incidence of colorectal cancer in younger populations and the potential implications for screening strategies.
Proud that Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires contributed to this important collaborative initiative, and congratulations to all colleagues.”
