[HIGHLIGHTS] Mortality from colon cancer increases in young people: "red flags" and who should be studied before 50

Mortality from colon cancer increases in young people: "red flags" and who should be studied before 50. Mortality rate in those under 54 years of age grew by 25% in Argentina between 1997 and 2020, according to the first study carried out in the country.

In 2021, the United States Preventive Services Task Force lowered the recommended age to begin colorectal cancer screening in the general population from 50 to 45 years. For Antelo - who spoke with Clarín on the eve of Colon Cancer Day -, it should be discussed.
