More people younger than 50 are being diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and the disease is often more aggressive. A single-cell study of colorectal tumors reveals differences in cell composition and expression in tumors from younger patients. broad.io/single-cell-colorec…

New @NatureMedicine research from @KimmieNgMD, MPH, and collaborators found biological differences between early- and later-onset colorectal cancer. The findings may help explain why early-onset disease can be more aggressive and guide future research: bit.ly/4ipOmeY
With the new atlas of colorectal tumors, @KimmieNgMD weighs in with @statnews on why cancers in young people are more dangerous. #ColorectalCancer #STAT

Our atlas of young-onset CRC is finally out in @NatureMedicine! We found a unique biology in younger patients that may explain the aggressive nature of this disease. This was a monumental effort with colleagues at @MassGenBrigham and @broadinstitute. @DFarberYoungCRC

“This highlights the need for deep molecular and genomic profiling studies" - @DanaFarber’s @KimmieNgMD discusses research into teens and very young adults diagnosed with colorectal cancer. While rare, the cancer is often diagnosed in late stages. @DFarberYoungCRC

"It is striking that studies consistently report more advanced stages of diagnosis, more aggressive histologies, and shorter survival among pediatric patients with colorectal cancer." Said @KimmieNgMD in her interview with @Medscape @MedscapeOnc

Today, our community of patients and their loved ones, faculty and staff, volunteers, and supporters comes together against cancer at @TheJimmyFund Walk for Dana-Farber presented by @Hyundai.
To everyone participating and supporting today, we are cheering you on every step of the way. Fundraising through the Walk makes a profound difference in advancing cancer research and bringing new treatment options to patients.
