Abstract

Our latest findings revealed a global trend towards a “young-shift” in colorectal cancer, following the analysis of colorectal cancer data collected from over 100 million people from six countries and regions, including Hong Kong, Shanghai, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States and Sweden. The findings were presented at the 2018 Digestive Disease Week (2018 DDW) in the US.
