Amazing talk by Andreana N. Holowatyj at ASCO summarizing the state of the knowledge of young onset colorectal cancer! These patients have unique needs & providers need to ensure they discuss options like fertility preservation & sexual health with ALL patients! #ASCO25 #CRCSM OncoAlert

There are no established screening tools or prevention guidelines for appendix cancer. Nearly half of all patients are diagnosed only after the cancer has already spread to other organs. Holowatyj and others say itโ€™s unlikely the rising numbers are due to better detection.
