Colorectal cancer rates rising in nearly all age groups
Original: Rising rates of colorectal cancer found in nearly all age groups
Researchers at UChicago Medicine report that colorectal cancer incidence is increasing across nearly all age groups, not just older adults. The findings add to growing concern about rising early-onset colorectal cancer, which has prompted doctors to reconsider screening recommendations and push for earlier colonoscopies, particularly among younger patients showing unexpected diagnoses.
Why now: New research highlighting that colorectal cancer is no longer limited to older adults has raised alarm about screening guidelines and prevention.
