Colorectal cancer is on the rise in young people.

It's the leading cause of cancer death in men and the second leading cause in women under 50 years old .

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that adults get their first colonoscopy at age 45 , which is younger than the previous recommendation of age 50 .

Llor says it’s crucial to advocate for yourself. While many doctors are aware of the rising rates of colorectal cancer in young people, making them more likely to recommend necessary colonoscopies, he says it’s important that patients are “being heard” when going to the doctor and should “perceive that our physician is paying attention to what we’re saying.” This article was originally published on Jan. 19, 2024 and has been updated..
