Examining reproductive health outcomes of females diagnosed with young-onset colorectal cancer (EXPAND-yCRC)
FY 2022-23
Summary
Colorectal cancer is the second most common form of cancer in Canada. Though it was long considered a disease among older adults, it is now frequently striking in younger adults who are diagnosed at less than 50 years of age. With this increased risk of young-onset colorectal cancer (yCRC) comes the need to understand its impacts on patients at a unique stage in their lives. In particular, with younger patients more likely to be of reproductive age and yCRC being a cancer "below the waist", it is important to understand its impacts on reproductive health.
We will expand on our current research on yCRC through the use of "big" healthcare data in the province of British Columbia. This includes information on all doctors' visits, hospitalizations, prescription medications, and diagnosed cancers. Using this data, we will study reproductive health outcomes of female patients with yCRC including pregnancy outcomes of mother and baby. Altogether, this research represents the start of meaningful and inclusive conversations about reproductive health among yCRC patients. It also has the potential to bridge research, awareness-raising, and advocacy for the reproductive health needs of yCRC patients.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is the second most common form of cancer in Canada. Though it was long considered a disease among older adults, it is now frequently striking in younger adults who are diagnosed at less than 50 years of age. With this increased risk of young-onset colorectal cancer (yCRC) comes the need to understand its impacts on patients at a unique stage in their lives. In particular, with younger patients more likely to be of reproductive age and yCRC being a cancer "below the waist", it is important to understand its impacts on reproductive health.
We will expand on our current research on yCRC through the use of "big" healthcare data in the province of British Columbia. This includes information on all doctors' visits, hospitalizations, prescription medications, and diagnosed cancers. Using this data, we will study reproductive health outcomes of female patients with yCRC including pregnancy outcomes of mother and baby. Altogether, this research represents the start of meaningful and inclusive conversations about reproductive health among yCRC patients. It also has the potential to bridge research, awareness-raising, and advocacy for the reproductive health needs of yCRC patients.
