Trend will likely lead to physicians ordering more clinical laboratory screening tests for cancer among all age groups, including young patients.

Colorectal cancer cases increased by 500% among children, ages 10 to 14 ; 333% in teens, ages 15 to 19 ; and 185% among young adults, ages 20 to 24.

UMKC researchers presented their study at the 2024 Digestive Disease Week conference.

An international study led by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center ( Fred Hutch ), Seattle , found “strong correlations” with consuming alcohol and being obese with early-onset colorectal cancer in adults under age 50 .

The researchers set out to explore the common genetic variants and causal modifiable risk factors.

Future research may aim to address data gaps relating to racial and ethnic groups.
