Core Tip	Recent evidence supports that young-onset colorectal cancer (CRC) is a “heterogeneous disease”. Newly recognized molecular alterations implicated in tumor progression, appear to contribute to its heterogeneity. Young-onset CRCs are remarkably different compared to late onset CRCs. These differences are highlighted by distinctive histologic features, site of tumor location, stage at presentation, and molecular profile. These differences support the possibility that young-onset CRC may be a different entity than late-onset CRCs. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of young-onset CRC, will ultimately help individualize screening strategies and management for this high risk group.
