Colorectal cancer is on the rise among young people. Now it is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. for those under 50, according to a new analysis. 🔗 https://on.wsj.com/3Z6dEG0

More than 1.2 million people under age 50 died of cancer in the U.S. from 1990 through 2023, American Cancer Society researchers reported Thursday.

Some 3,905 people ages 20 to 49 died of colorectal cancer in 2023, according to Cancer Society statistics, compared with 3,809 for breast cancer and 2,086 for brain and other nervous system cancers.

Cancer has long been thought of as a disease of aging. Rising rates of some cancers among younger people, however, have upended the longtime stereotype, worrying health authorities and doctors and triggering research into possible causes and solutions.

"Dr. Palma has a calmness about him that puts me at ease. He listens, asks pointed questions to help him identify the source and cause of the problem, and then offers various options if more than one option is available. I would highly recommend Dr. Palma for anyone who has stomach issues. He has helped me obtain relief from what I consider severe conditions. His office has a very friendly staff who goes beyond the norm to help patients." - Patient Review, January 2026
