[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Dh is a gastroenterologist and I’m worried about how many gen Zers are going to be diagnosed with colon cancer in their 20’s and 30’s. [/quote] Why? (Genuinely curious!)[/quote] It's a trend. Colorectal cancer in younger adults (2022) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9177054/ "In contrast to decreasing incidence rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) in older adults, incidence rates have nearly doubled in younger adults (age <50 years) in the U.S. since the early 1990s. Similar increases have occurred across the globe. Despite overall population trends in aging, by 2030, about 15% of CRCs will be diagnosed in younger adults. Mechanisms and factors contributing to early-onset CRC (EOCRC) remain puzzling, especially because most young adults diagnosed with CRC have no known risk factors or predisposing conditions, such as family history of CRC or polyps or a hereditary syndrome (e.g., Lynch syndrome, polyposis)."[/quote]
