Colorectal Cancer Rising Among Young People and Teens
Original: Colorectal Cancer Is Rising Among the Young, Even Kids and Teens https://gizmodo.com/colorectal-cancer-is-rising-among-k
New reporting highlights that colorectal cancer diagnoses are increasing among children and teenagers, not just younger adults. Researchers say the disease in young patients is not the same as the adult form, suggesting distinct biology may be at play. The trend has alarmed doctors, who are urging awareness of symptoms and calling for more research into causes, including possible diet, environmental or genetic factors behind the rise.
Why now: A new report on rising pediatric colorectal cancer cases is drawing concern as the trend signals a troubling shift in a disease once seen mainly in older adults.
