That rise is notable because mortality from colorectal cancer as a whole has been on the decline, and is expected to continue to decrease in the European Union and UK - especially among those aged 70 and older.
Yet these improvements aren't enough to counter the increase in colorectal cancer in young people. Another 2023 study found that early-onset colorectal cancer has increased in 190 out of 204 studied countries and territories, with middle- and high-income countries facing faster annual increases. These early-onset cases are also more likely to be advanced and aggressive, according to a 2021 study.
