As birth cohorts younger than age 50 become progressively younger, the relative increase in colorectal cancer (CRC) risk compared to past decades becomes progressively greater. At the same time, older cohorts have experienced declining incidence rates of CRC. As the younger birth cohorts age, we are likely to see increasing incidence rates of CRC in older age groups as these cohorts carry their increased risk with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results data, these authors discovered that overall U.S. CRC rates rose in parallel from 1992 to 2018 in 45- to 49-year-olds and 50- to 54-year-olds, while the incidence in 55- to 59-year-olds declined. This resulted in essentially equal incidence rates from 2016 to 2018 in 50- to 54-year-olds and 55- to 59-year-olds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
