Colorectal cancer is rising in young people

Colorectal cancer is rising in young adults, and no one knows why. In the U.S., about 10% of colorectal cancer cases are diagnosed in people under 50. Those numbers rise each year. Given these rising trends, the Colorectal Cancer Alliance Chris4Life Research Program awards grants to encourage and support researchers to study and understand why colorectal cancer is rising in young people and how to prevent it.
