Age-Stratified Transcriptomic Profiling Identifies CEMIP as a Candidate Biomarker in Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer and Reveals an Association with PTCH1-Related Hedgehog Signaling
Background/Objectives: Early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC), defined as colorectal cancer diagnosed before 50 years of age, is increasing worldwide and may exhibit molecular features distinct from late-onset colorectal cancer (LOCRC). This study aimed to identify EOCRC-associated genes and evaluate the functional rele...
