Description

The incidence of colorectal cancer in young patients has increased steadily over the past several years. The management of these patients can be quite challenging because of age-specific considerations. This webinar offers an overview of epidemiology and treatment options for young patients with colorectal cancer. The panelists will discuss relevant treatment paradigms based on genetics, molecular studies, age, and gender-specific considerations.
