Digestive Cancers Europe - for Patients

03/09/2025

Cancer doesn’t discriminate based on someone's age. Too many young people face delays and misdiagnoses simply because of their age.

Our latest book shares the powerful stories of young people with digestive cancer; their courage, struggles, and hopes. Every story shines a light on why early awareness and action matter.

We are so grateful and indebted to the bravery and strength of everyone in this book who chose to tell their personal story. Sadly, not all are with us now, and this book is dedicated to their memory.

Please read it, share it, and help make sure no voice goes unheard.
