A first -class worldwide worldwide study has demonstrated new details about patients with colon cancer under the age of 35, who are increasingly being diagnosed with the disease.
Although data has been reported on a large scale about those younger than 50-that as 'early' cases are considered the researchers behind the vast new analysis that there has been a lack of studies in the 'very young'.
The new report showed that the disease of diseases younger than 35 almost doubled from 1990 to 2019, from 21,000 to 41,000, while the dead increased by 25 percent.
In the US, rates in people younger than 50 have risen by 50 percent in the same period, which suggests faster growth in younger groups.
The study also found that three risk factors were strongly associated with colon cancer: heavy alcohol consumption, being obese and not consuming enough calcium.
Surprisingly, how much someone exercised, smoking and fiber had little effect on the risk of colon cancer, despite studies that all connected to the disease.
Although the team did not look at the US specifically, they discovered that colon cancer fell in North America in younger than 35s from 1,800 to 2,400, an increase of 25 percent.
The research team, which this month wrote in the Neoplasia magazine, said: 'Until now, the disease burden of Very Eocrc has never been reported.
'The results of this study can improve the vigilance of doctors and young adults towards CRC in persons under the age of 35, also offer a scientific reference for very EOCC control policy and help with the effective allocation of medical means for very EOCC prevention and management In the world. '

Worldwide one in five deaths was bound by colon cancer to diet that little calcium, the most important risk factor.
Alcohol was the second highest risk factor, good for 13 percent of the deaths and obesity was one in 10.
In North America, in the meantime, 22 percent of the deaths were bound by colon cancer to alcohol consumption, closely followed by obesity at 18 percent and low calcium diets of 12 percent.
The study follows a newly published report from the American Cancer Society, which estimated more than 154,000 Americans will be hit by the colon cancer this year and slightly less than 53,000 will die.
In the UK, 44,000 British are diagnosed every year and there are approximately 16,800 deaths.
The researchers evaluated colon cancer data from 204 countries and areas, including the US and the UK.
Data was collected from the Global Burden of Disease Study of the Lancet 2019, which looked at the risk and mortality of chronic diseases for 369 diseases.
The researchers said that although this data had previously been analyzed, a study that this great had never focused on patients younger than 35.
The researchers looked at five food risk factors – diet with a lot of processed meat, food with a high meat, diet with little calcium, diet with little fiber and diet with little milk – as well as alcohol consumption, smoking, low physical activity and obesity.
In total, the worldwide cases of colon cancer rose in younger than 35s from 21,874 in 1990 to 41,545 in 2019, which double for more than 30 years.
Only 61 percent of the cases were in men, while 39 percent were in women.
This is a higher percentage of men with the disease than the national average for all groups. According to the American Cancer Society, around 51 percent of patient cancer patients in general are men.

Moreover, the percentage rose from very early colon cancer from 0.8 per 100,000 people in 1990 to 1.05 per 100,000 people in 2019.
Alcohol was the second highest risk factor, good for 13 percent of the deaths and obesity was one in 10.
The researchers did not evaluate risk factors for other age groups, although diets with a lot of red and processed meat, diets with few fiber and smoking are considered the most important risk factors in older adults.
From 1990 to 2019, the dead also rose from 11,445 to 15,486, a jump of 27 percent.
In the meantime, in 2023, 13,160 Americans died in colon cancer alone, which is still common, which still occurs much more often and is deadly in older adults.
The team also looked at risk factors that were related to deaths due to colon cancer.
Worldwide Dieten Laag Calcium had the largest link to colon cancer.
One in five dead around the world was due to a diet with little milk and other food rich in calcium such as cheese, salmon, leafy vegetables and yogurt.
It is thought that calcium binds to bile acids and free fatty acids in the large intestine, reducing their potentially carcinogenic effects.

Earlier this month, a study published in Nature Communications found that an additional 300 mg calcium per day could reduce the risk of colon cancer by 17 percent. That is about the same amount of calcium in a large cup of milk.
In the new study, alcohol consumption was responsible for 13 percent of the deaths due to colon cancer around the world.
The researchers did not specify how much alcohol was linked to colon cancer, although recent research suggests that two drinks a day for men or 1.5 are sufficient for women to increase the risk.
Alcohol has been shown to damage cells in the colon, making them more susceptible to harmful mutations related to cancer.
A recent report in Annals of Oncology, for example, discovered that alcohol could increase the risk of colon cancer by a maximum of 50 percent.
A high Body Mass Index (BMI) was the third most common risk factor for deaths due to colon cancer, but was only responsible for one in 10 dead.
A high BMI is a older than 30, which is considered the threshold for obesity.
This suggests that obesity is not the main cause, as many studies have suggested.
The team said that the effort levels may not have been a significant risk factor as a result of several countries, especially less developed, are less sitting and more trust in physical labor.
Although the researchers did not look at the US specifically in the new study, they have investigated 'North America with high incomes', including the US and Canada.
In this region, alcohol was the strongest related to deaths by colon cancer, with the report that it contributed to 22 percent of the dead.
However, considerably fewer deaths were linked to diets with little milk. In North America, 12 percent were associated with a diet with a low milk compared to 21.5 percent worldwide.
This can be due to the love of America for the drink. According to data from the world population, the US consumes more milk than any other country except India.
Behind alcohol, High BMI was the second most common risk factor of colon cancer in North America, linked to 18 percent of the dead.
Diets with a lot of red and processed meat were also good for one in 10 dead by colon cancer in North America with a high income.
Various recent studies have specifically looked at processed meat and colon cancer.
For example, a report that was published in NPJ Precision Oncology last year suggested that processed meat produces metabolites, of which researchers said that 'cancer cells' and 'hijacking' normal cells 'hijack'.
And other recent research suggests that eating processed meat is associated more than once a week with an increased risk of colon cancer markers, which demonstrate the presence of cancer in body fluids such as blood and urine.
The researchers in the new study said there were various restrictions on the study, including the lack of details about the severity of the cancer and the location of the tumors.
The team also did not look at other suspected risk factors for colon cancer such as antibiotic use and intestinal bacteria.
The researchers wrote: “Nevertheless, these limitations did not change the fact that this study gave an integrated estimate of a high EOCCC, which was valuable for the control of the disease burden.”
