Colorectal cancer
CRC is a disease that is often associated with older adults (\<50 years). CRC remains the second most common cause of cancer death in males and the third most common cancer death in women. Despite this, CRC incidence has steadily declined in older adults; however, there is a concerning rise of incidence of colorectal cancer in young patients. The incidence of CRC in men and women under the age of 50 steadily increased 2.1 percent per year from 1992 through 2012.
