Resumen
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant global health concern, ranking as the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Despite an overall decline in CRC rates in the United States, there is a concerning rise in early-onset cases (diagnosed before age 50). This study, utilizing comprehensive data from the Global Burden of Disease 2019, delves into the state-specific trends in CRC incidence, prevalence, and mortality over three decades (1990?2019). Notably, the research reveals varying patterns across geographic regions, gender, and age groups. Understanding these nuanced trends is crucial for targeted resource allocation and policy decisions to effectively combat CRC, a disease with an increasing impact on younger adults in the United States.
