Rising Trends in Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer: Epidemiological Insights and Future Directions in Multimodal Treatment and Prevention |Chapter 7 | Medicine and Medical Research: New Perspectives Vol. 9

People under the age of 50 are experiencing an increasing incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC), as well as an increasing mortality rate associated with the disease. This is a well-known fact. As a result of these patterns, a flurry of research has been conducted with the objective of elucidating the epidemiology and characteristics of colorectal cancer that manifests at an early stage, as well as developing strategies for early detection and prevention.

There are two methods that can be utilised in order to identify and prevent early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC) in young adults who do not exhibit any symptoms: There are two types of screening: 1) population-based screening for individuals who would otherwise be considered to be at average risk, and 2) precision screening, which takes into account factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and family history. Initiating early screening based on family history is the primary precision screening technique that is recommended for the early detection and prevention of early-onset CRC. This technique is also known as genetic screening.  However, the most important thing that should we do is early screening for this specific age group.
