Synchronous Neoplasia Rates at Colonoscopic Diagnosis of Early-Onset vs Average-Onset Colorectal Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC) (age, <50 years) continues to increase globally within high-income countries.

Objective

To examine and compare rates of synchronous neoplasia found in patients at colonoscopic diagnosis of early-onset CRC with rates found at diagnosis of average-onset CRC.

Design, setting, and participants

In this multisite retrospective and cross-sectional study conducted at Mayo Clinic sites and in the Mayo Clinic Health System from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2022, 150 randomly selected patients with early-onset CRC were identified from the electronic health record and matched with 150 patients with average-onset CRC based on sex and colonoscopic indication.
