Trends in the Incidence of Early-Onset Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Among Black and White US Residents Aged 40 to 49 Years, 2000-2017.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Early-onset colorectal cancer incidence rates are rising faster in White individuals than Black individuals. However, prior National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) racial stratification analyses used smaller SEER 13 databases, combined patients under age 50 years, did not stratify by sex, and did not focus on adenocarcinoma histologic subtypes (screening target).

Objective

To perform a race- and sex-stratified adenocarcinoma incidence rate analysis in individuals aged 40 to 49 years using larger SEER 18 databases with expanded race data to better understand the colorectal cancer burden in those at or approaching screening age.

Design, setting, and participants

This cross-sectional study used 2000 to 2017 SEER 18 annual a
