Excited for my first Digestive Disease Week! Looking forward to talking about our work exploring the association between early-onset colorectal cancer and delivery by C-section during the poster session today Yin Cao Jonas Ludvigsson #DDW2023

Regular use aspirin or NSAIDs was associated with a lower chance of developing early-onset colorectal adenoma, the major precursor of early-onset colorectal cancer, in a new study being presented at #DDW2023 💊 Yin Cao American Gastroenterological Association (AGA)
