Abstract
On the basis of an analysis of the SEER cancer registries from 1975 through 2013, CRC incidence decreased only among individuals 50 years or older between the time periods of 1980-1984 and 2010-2013. Incidence increased modestly among individuals 20-49 years old between the time periods of 1990-1994 and 2010-2013. The decision of whether to recommend screening for younger populations requires a formal analysis of risks and benefits. Our observed trends provide compelling evidence that screening has had an important role in reducing CRC incidence.
