    COVID-19 pandemic; Early-onset colorectal cancerPandemia de COVID-19 Cåncer colorrectal precozPandÚmia de COVID-19; Càncer colorectal precoçThe COVID19 pandemic has affected the spectrum of cancer care worldwide. Early onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) is defined as diagnosis below the age of 50. Patients with EOCRC faced multiple challenges during the COVID19 pandemic and in some institutions it jeopardized cancer diagnosis and care delivery. Our study aims to identify the clinicopathological features and outcomes of patients with EOCRC in our Centre during the first wave of the pandemic in comparison with the same period in 2019 and 2021. Patients with EOCRC visited for the first time at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital in Spain from the 1st March to 31st August of 2019, 2020 and 2021 were included in the analysis. 177 patients with EOCRC were visited for the first time between 2019 and 2021, of which 90 patients met the inclusion criteria (2019: 30 patients, 2020: 29 patients, 2021: 31 patients). Neither differences in frequency nor in stage at diagnosis or at first visit during the given periods were observed. Of note, indication of systemic therapy in the adjuvant or metastatic setting was not altered. Days to treatment initiation and enrollment in clinical trials in this subpopulation was not affected due to the COVID-19 outbreak.This work was supported by the Cancer Research UK (CRUK) grant OPTIMISTICC (C10674/A27140)

La incidĂšncia del CCR Ă©s superior en homes, amb un increment anual de l'1,3% en els homes i el 0,5% en les dones des de 1994. A Espanya, segons l’informe de la SEOM, que recull dades de la REDECAN, posiciona el CCR com un dels mĂ©s freqĂŒents i probables de diagnosticar el 2019, amb 44.937 nous casos. Segons les dades dels registres de GLOBOCAN 2018, el CCR Ă©s el segon cĂ ncer amb mĂ©s incidĂšncia a Europa. La incidĂšncia distribuĂŻda per sexes Ă©s del 16,7% en homes i del 13,3% en dones. Els objectius d'aquesta guia sĂłn: -Desenvolupar, difondre, implementar i avaluar resultats de la ICO-ICSPraxi de cĂ ncer colorectal. -Disminuir la variabilitat terapĂšutica entre els pacients tractats als diferents centres d'aquesta instituciĂł. -Implementar els resultats de la terapĂšutica en els pacients amb adenocarcinoma de pĂ ncrees tractats d'acord amb les recomanacions d'aquesta guia
