Routine screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) in adults >50years of age has led to overall reductions in CRC incidence and CRC-related mortality. Yet CRC incidence among young adults age <50 continues to increase without a clear explanation. This review examines the changing epidemiology of CRC ...
Responding to new research on the rising incidence of colorectal cancer among younger adults, some states are trying to boost public awareness of the deadly disease with a focus on Black and rural residents. In 2021, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force changed the routine screening age for...
The increase in colorectal cancer cases among young adults illustrates the importance of better health education. When more people understand the risk factors for this type of cancer, then greater numbers can make sound decisions about when to start screening. Let’s look at some of...
“Very interesting,” Siegel replied, but then all but dismissed Li’s hypothesis. She also questioned the timing: It “doesn’t really work because rectal cancer rates have been increasing since the 1970s and 1980s in people in their 20s and 30s,” she wrote, “and cell phone use did ...
The incidence of colorectal cancer continues to decline for older Americans, but researchers have noticed a significant uptick in prevalence among young adults.

Nearly double the number of young adults under 55 are being diagnosed with colorectal cancer than a decade ago, and more are dying from the disease each year, as reported recently by the American Cancer Society. According to the study, the number of individuals in the U.S. diagnosed with ...
like smoking, alcohol, and so on are all things that one might consider. Lifestyle and diets, such as the Western diet, cause hyperinsulinemia and are sort of procarcinogenic and proinflammatory milieu that might cause colorectal cancer to become more incident and more prevalent in the young. ...
,“The Disturbing Increase in Colorectal Cancer in Young Adults,” we called attention to the steep rise in colorectal cancer incidence in young people in their twenties and thirties and discussed the risks associated with viral vaccines. In Part II, we discuss glyphosate as another plausible culpr...

Oncologists recommend that young adults engage in regular physical activity, and stick to a diet rich of whole grains, vegetables and fruit and low in red and processed meats to prevent the disease. "Colorectal cancer can be cured, and patients have a better chance of survival if the disease...
