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.
