Summary:The incidence of young-onset (<50 years) colorectal cancer (CRC) has been increasing internationally. The psychosocial experience of younger cancer patients is vastly different from older patients, especially in domains such as financial toxicity, body image, and sexual dysfunction.

The aim of the current scoping review was to examine (1) the psychosocial factors and/or outcomes associated with young-onset CRC and (2) other determinants that influences these outcomes.
