For many people, colorectal cancer feels like something that happens later in life. It is often associated with older adults, not college-aged adults or young adults in their 30s and early 40s. Yet across the country, physicians are seeing a different pattern emerge — one that surprises patients and reshapes long-held assumptions. That surprise can lead people to dismiss early warning signs or put off a visit with a physician. Meanwhile, national data and clinical experience now tell the same story. More adults under 50 are being diagnosed with colorectal cancer, according to the American Medical Association. When colon cancer occurs under the age of 50, it is often referred to as early-onset colorectal cancer.
