Digestive disorders and gastroesophageal reflux disease
One of the most important aspects of colorectal cancer is that the risk increases with age. Most diagnoses are made in people over 50, which is why for decades that age was established as the reference point for starting preventive screenings. However, in recent years, an increase in cases has been observed in younger adults, even in people without obvious symptoms or clear medical history. This trend has raised concerns among specialists, who recommend evaluating risk factors individually and not postponing preventive screenings.
