Annals of Internal Medicine.
Data indicate that adenocarcinomas are increasing in most early-onset subgroups, but that carcinoids, a distinct type of tumor, are increasing at a faster rate, at least in part because of increased detection and case capture by cancer registries.
Researchers from Tulane University Medical Center reviewed SEER 18 data from 2000 to 2016 for 119,624 patients with colorectal cancer to assess early-onset colorectal cancer incident rates and changes in incident rates over time, stratified by histologic subtype (primarily adenocarcinoma and carcinoid tumors). Adenocarcinoma is key to analyze because it is a target for prevention through scre
