Content Data

This page contains data entry 91307 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

This is an issue I researched for a public health class. Though it is an alarming trend, the relative risk is still low which is why younger adults with symptoms aren’t evaluated with as much scrutiny as those 45 and over or with relevant family history. Obviously there are other considerations other posters have touched on, but it’s worth pointing out the risk of developing CRC for those in their 20s and 30s is roughly 2 in 100,000. That’s not significant enough to justify lowering the recommended screening age.

That doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of unfortunate exceptions, but the reality is most of those who present with GI symptoms in the cohort being discussed won’t have cancer. And not to scare anyone, but if you do have symptoms caused by CRC you’re already late in the game. Early stages are typically symptomless. So if you’ve been dealing with something like rectal bleeding for several years without progression, keep that in mind before you assume your symptoms are related to CRC. If you had symptomatic, untreated CRC for several years in all likelihood you’d be dead.

But of course, listen to your doctors and get checked if you’re worried.
