Elisa Fontana, MD, PhD, Sarah Cannon Research Institute, London, UK, discusses the growing concerns over the rise in early-onset colorectal malignancies and other gastrointestinal cancers, including pancreatic tumors. There is an emphasis on the need for more research into the epigenetic factors influencing colorectal cancer. Patients are now being identified based on genomic and germline mutations, with a focus on managing long-term toxicity and fertility issues that may arise in this population. This interview took place at 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Gastrointestinal Cancer Annual Congress in Munich, Germany.
