Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer Somatic Gene Mutations by Population Subgroups

In this issue of Cancer Discovery, Holowatyj and colleagues uncover racial/ethnic and sex heterogeneity in somatic mutations among patients with early-onset colorectal cancer. The findings shed light on a deeper understanding of complex biological and genetic mechanisms for colorectal cancer in diverse populations. See related article by Holowatyj et al., p. 570 (6).
