About The Study: In this cross-sectional study, early age–onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) was associated with improved overall survival compared with average age–onset colorectal cancer; however, treatment delays were independently associated with worse survival among patients with EOCRC. Language barriers could be a potentially modifiable risk factor associated with delayed treatment and may provide an opportunity to improve timely care and outcomes in EOCRC.
