A new study shows more young adults die from colorectal cancer. This problem is bigger for people with less education.

The study looked at over 101,000 deaths from 1994 to 2023. Deaths increased mostly for those without a college degree.

A college degree itself does not stop cancer. It often shows other things like less money and poorer health choices.

The overall death rate for young adults went up. For high school graduates, it rose from 4 to 5.2 per 100,000.

People need to know about colorectal cancer and its symptoms. Doctors now suggest screening for adults starting at age 45.
