Trends in the incidence of young-onset colorectal cancer with a focus on years approaching screening age: A population-based longitudinal study

Journal of the National Cancer Institute Jan 31, 2021

Howren A, Sayre EC, Loree JM, et al. - To assess the rising risk of young-onset colorectal cancer (yCRC), researchers sought to assess the incidence of yCRC in 1-year age increments, especially with a focus on the screening age of 50 years. They performed a longitudinal study utilizing linked administrative health databases in British Columbia, Canada including a provincial cancer registry, inpatient/outpatient visits, and vital statistics from January 1, 1986 to December 31, 2016. Three thousand six hundred fourteen individuals with yCRC (49.9% women) were identified. From 20 to 60 years, the incidence of CRC steadily rose, and did so decidedly from 49 to 50 years. Among women, there was a trend of higher incidence of yCRC. Such results illustrate the need to raise awareness as well as continue debates on lowering the screening age considerations.
