The incidence of colorectal cancer among young Americans has been steadily rising over the past three decades, with no clear explanation for the trend. While progress has been made in lowering the overall death rate from cancer, deaths due to certain types of cancer, including colorectal cancer, have increased among individuals under the age of 50.
