CRC rates among US adults aged 20 to 49 years increased from 2001 to 2017, with the fastest increases observed from 2012 to 2017. Increases were observed among the youngest age groups, among non-Hispanic Whites, and in states in the West, Midwest, and Rocky Mountain regions. Increasing rates across all tumor stages suggest a real increase in CRC incidence.
