Colorectal cancer incidence trends in younger versus older adults: an analysis of population-based cancer registry data
Early-onset colorectal cancer incidence rates are rising in 27 of 50 countries and territories examined
Using IARC's Cancer Incidence in Five Continents Plus data through 2017 for 50 countries and territories, the study found that over the most recent ten years incidence of colorectal cancer at ages 25–49 rose in 27 and was stable in 23. The largest annual increases were in New Zealand (3.97%), Chile (3.96%), Puerto Rico (3.81%) and England (3.59%). In 14 of the 27, incidence at ages 50–74 was stable or falling. Twenty-three of the 50 registries cover only part of their country.
