SUMMARY:Beyond screening age: Bowel cancer risk in young Australians | Online
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Epworth Healthcare \nAustralia now reports the highest incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in young adults worldwide. This emerging trend has significant implications for general practice\, where younger adults often present with non‑specific gastrointestinal symptoms that may be overlooked or attributed to benign conditions. \nThis presentation will explore the evolving landscape of young‑onset colorectal cancer\, including the current evidence on underlying causes and risk factors – from genetic predisposition to lifestyle influences and environmental exposures. We will examine the unique diagnostic and clinical challenges associated with this age group\, particularly in the context of limited routine screening options and common delays in recognition. \nPresented by Epworth Gastroenterologist and Advanced Endoscopist\, Dr Oliver Cronin. \nLearning outcomes:\n1. Describe which patients require a more in-depth screening program for bowel cancer\n2. Outline the potential risk factors for colorectal cancer and how these can be modified \nTarget audience: General practice staff \nClick here for more information and to register
