Cleveland Clinic's Center for Young-Onset Colorectal Cancer

Up to 12% of colorectal cancers occur in individuals under the age of 50. According to the National Cancer Institute, since 1994, cases of young-onset colorectal cancer have increased by 51%. While a cancer diagnosis at any age calls for expert treatment, young patients with colorectal cancer often have diagnostic and treatment considerations that are specific to their early age of onset.

To meet this challenge, we have established Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Young-Onset Colorectal Cancer with the aim of providing young colorectal cancer patients with personalized, comprehensive, and coordinated world-class care.
