Is it true that colorectal cancer incidence among US adults under 50 has risen since the mid-1990s?

Yes. A 2019 review reports that US colorectal cancer incidence among adults aged 20-49 rose from 8.6 per 100,000 in 1992 to 13.1 per 100,000 in 2016, and a SEER-based study finds early-onset incidence rising about 1.95% per year from 2004-2019. An earlier SEER analysis also found under-50 rates increasing 1.5-1.6% per year from 1992 to 2005.
