Increasing Incidence of Colorectal Cancer in Young Adults.

Published in: Journal of cancer epidemiology (2019)

We found age-related disparities in CRC incidence and IBM between individuals under age 50 and age 50 years and older. Increasing incidence rates of rectal cancer substantially accounts for this disparity among individuals under age 50. The escalating trends of early-onset CRC warrant investigation into the factors leading to the population-level trends.
