About

The present study aimed to review the characteristics and outcome of early-onset rectal cancer in a subset of Egyptian patients aged 40 years or less. Since the previous studies assessed this point of research in CRC overall, the investigators opted to focus upon rectal cancer alone since it may represent a separate category, distinct from colon cancer, in this age group with regards to presentation, tumor behavior, and outcome.
