Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer: Study Identifies 7 Risk Facto

A new study has identified seven risk factors for early-onset colorectal cancer in males. While rates of colorectal cancer (cancer that starts in the colon or rectum) have been dropping among older people since 2011, they have been rising at a rate of 2% per year in people younger than 55. Men develop colorectal cancer more often than women, but rates of early-onset colorectal cancer in both men and women have steadily climbed.
