AIMS: To evaluate clinicopathological characteristics of sporadic EOCRC (in patients < 50 years old) and investigate changes over time METHODS: All patients with sporadic EOCRC between 1989 and 2016 were included and divided by age: 20-29 years (group I), 30-39 years (group II) and 40-49 years (group III). RESULTS: We included 6400 patients. The presence of signet-ring cells and more poorly differentiated tumours were more common in the younger age groups: 5.4% and 3.7% for signet-ring cells in group I and II vs 1.4% in group III (P 2005, P = 0.09), and a higher percentage of rectal cancer was found in age group III (34.3% 2005, P
