Colorectal cancer (colorectal cancer, CRC) is a collective term for cancers that develop from tissues that start in the colon or rectum
.
According to the latest data released by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer after breast cancer and lung cancer, accounting for 9.
4% of patients, of which China accounts for 31% of the world's colorectal cancer patients.

.
Colorectal cancer has long been considered a disease of old age, meaning that the risk of developing it increases with age
.
However, about 10% of new cases are under the age of 50 years, known as early-onset colorectal cancer (EoCRC); and this proportion is increasing
.
As a result, several countries have updated their guidelines to recommend lowering the starting age for colorectal cancer screening in general-risk groups from 50 to 45 years
.
The clinical, pathological, and molecular features of early-onset colorectal cancer appear to be different from those of patients 50 years of age and older
.
Many risk factors for late-onset colorectal cancer, such as a sedentary life>
.
Last year, a large-scale study published in JNCI Cancer Spectrum (IF=13.
506), the top journal in the field of oncology, found that higher intake of red meat (pig, cattle, sheep, etc.
), lower education levels and excessive alcohol consumption Factors such as these are associated with an increased incidence of colorectal cancer in people under the age of 50
.
However, the above factors do not explain all cases
.
Therefore, larger surveys of colorectal cancer incidence in people between the ages of 45 and 49 years or in the years prior to the new recommended screening age are needed to identify additional risk factors
.
In a new study published recently in Gastroenterology (IF=22.
682), a top journal in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology, a research team led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, USA analyzed nearly 3 million outpatient colonoscopies.
A large dataset of patients, which identified the prevalence and risk factors of colorectal tumors in patients aged 18 to 54 years, and detailed pathological findings in those aged 45-49 years, as well as those under 45 years of age
.
During the study period from 2014 to 2020, a total of 2,921,816 colonoscopies were recorded, of which 562,559 were first visits
.
145,988 cases occurred in people aged 18-44 years; 79,934 cases occurred in people aged 45-49 years; and 336,627 cases occurred in people aged 50-54 years
.
The incidence of tumors and advanced precancerous lesions (APL) in all age groups is increasing year by year
.
The researchers' analysis found that age, male gender, whiteness, family history of CRC, bleeding or screening tests were all associated with higher rates of APL and colorectal cancer
.
Among patients aged 45-49, the tumor incidence was 32%, and the incidence of APL and colorectal cancer was 7.
5% and 0.
58%, respectively; the incidence was almost equally high in the 40-44-year-old group
.
In addition, Asians and American Indians/Alaska Natives had higher rates of APL, but African Americans and Hispanics had lower rates compared with whites
.
This large nationally representative study of patients in the United States under the age of 50 showed that the incidence of colorectal tumors and advanced precancerous lesions (APL) in the 45-49 age group was almost as high as that in the 50-54 age group; The incidence of rectal cancer is even higher
.
The incidence of APL is almost as high in the 40-44-year-old group as in the 45-49-year-old group, and the incidence of colorectal cancer is quite high
.
It is also worth noting that even in the 30-39 year old population, 15-20% have pre-existing tumors, of which 2-4% have APL and 0.
2-0.
4% have colorectal tumors
.
The researchers say the data support lowering the screening age to 45 for all average-risk groups, and recommend that educa- tion of young people begin years before the earlier screening age
