Insights into early-onset colorectal cancer from a single-nucleus RNA-seq atlas of colorectal cancer across the age continuum.
The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (EO-CRC; diagnosed before age 50 years) is increasing worldwide. Although current data indicate that EO-CRC may be biologically distinct from average-onset CRC (AO-CRC; diagnosed at age ≥50 years), molecular differences remain poorly defined. To address this knowledge gap,...
