Adenocarcinoma of the Rectum in Patients Under Age 40 Is Increasing

Abstract: Despite a stable incidence of rectal cancer for all ages, the incidence in patients under 40 has quadrupled since 1980, and cancers in this group are 3.6 times more likely to have signet cell histology. Given the worse outcomes associated with signet cell histology, these data highlight a need for thorough evaluation of young patients with rectal symptoms.

“…In agreement with previous colorectal SRCC data, 4 , 5 , 7 9 colorectal MAC-SRC patients were commonly diagnosed at an advanced stage in this study, with distant metastasis or lymph node metastasis. In a previous study examining 59 patients, 58 (98.3%) individuals had T3/T4 lesions, 52 (88.1%) showed lymph node metastasis, and 14 (23.7%) had distant metastasis.…”

“…Previous studies demonstrated that colorectal SRCC is more common in younger individuals (≤40-year-old) than non-SRC MAC. 4 , 5 , 7 , 14 The reported mean age of colorectal SRCC patients is 48.1 years, while 57.4 years was found for colorectal MAC. 20 Young age (≤40-year-old) was shown to be an independent predictive factor of disease outcome in a previous study.…”

“…In contrast, MAC are characterized by abundant extracellular mucin produced by tumor cells. MAC share some clinical characteristics with SC, such as occurring in younger patients4,5 and a high propensity for lymph node metastases with low incidence of hepatic metastasis 2,6. What is more, its clinical course is aggressive with a high incidence of local recurrence 46.…”
