Core Tip

Core Tip: This is the first study to evaluate clinicodemographics of early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and associated factors in Indonesia during a 12-year period from 2008-2019. We observed a slight increase in patients with early-onset CRC during the period of 2014-2019 compared to the period of 2008-2013. A larger proportion of patients with early-onset CRC were underweight, presented with abdominal pain, and suspected of suffering from hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer.
