Conclusion
The editorial discusses the rising incidence of early onset colorectal cancer and the disparities in its impact across different demographics.
Supporting Evidence
- Early onset colorectal cancer is increasing worldwide, especially in developed countries.
- Non-Hispanic American Indians/Alaska Natives have the highest incidence rates of early onset colorectal cancer.
- Non-Hispanic Blacks have the highest mortality rates from early onset colorectal cancer.
- Research is needed to address disparities in prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and survival of early onset colorectal cancer.
Takeaway
More young people are getting colorectal cancer, and some groups are affected more than others. We need to find ways to help everyone get the care they need.
