Trends in incidence and mortality of early-onset gastrointestinal cancers: a comprehensive study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early-Onset Gastrointestinal Cancers concerns tumors in people under 50. Accumulating evidence suggests a significant increase in the burden of colorectal cancer in young adults. We investigated the global burden and spatiotemporal trends of the 6 major gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, including colon and rectum cancer (CRC), esophageal cancer (EC), gallbladder and biliary tract cancer (GBTC), liver cancer (LC), pancreatic cancer (PC), and stomach cancer (SC). in young adults, based on cancer-specific incidence and mortality.

Methods

All data for 6 early-onset (EO) GI cancers were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease study. Age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized death rate (ASDR), and corresponding estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) we
