Colorectal cancer is showing up in younger people and at more advanced stages: study
Fox News
A new study from the American Cancer Society says that advanced stage colorectal cancer (CRC) cases are rising and the disease is being seen more frequently in younger patients.
Notably, this includes the advanced stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis and the patient’s age at which it's diagnosed. "The trend toward more advanced disease in people of all ages is also surprising and should motivate everyone 45 and older to get screened." "We have to address why the rates in young adults continue to trend in the wrong direction." Colonoscopies were typically recommended at age 50, but in recent years, that number was changed to age 45 in average-risk individuals and earlier if there was family history or other risk factors.

The incidence of advanced stage CRC disease now occurs in three out of five people, while one out of every five CRC diagnoses are made in people under 55 years old, according to the study's investigators.
