A comprehensive review of early-onset colorectal SEER data is the first to specifically assess adenocarcinomas

Admin on 15 / 12 / 2020 under #COVID-19

In a comprehensive review of SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) 18 data researchers analyzed histologic colorectal subtypes independently and found that some lesions categorized as colorectal cancer may potentially be lower-risk tumors. The findings are published in Annals of Internal Medicine.

Data indicate that adenocarcinomas are increasing in most early-onset subgroups, but that carcinoids, a distinct type of tumor, are increasing at a faster rate, at least in part because of increased detection and case capture by cancer registries.
