create fartAn estimated 158,850 people will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer in the United States in 2026. Of those, 55,230 will die.
Colorectal cancer is the second deadliest cancer overall, but it is now the #1 cancer killer of people under age 50. In 1990, it was the fifth leading cause of cancer death in that age group. It has risen to first place a decade earlier than researchers predicted.
The death rate among adults under 50 is climbing by 1% per year. Deaths in young people have increased every single year since 2005 while deaths in older adults drop, because older adults get screened.
Lifetime risk
- 1 in 24 men will develop it
- 1 in 26 women will develop it
The trend in younger adults
- Incidence in under-50s up 3% per year since 2013
- Deaths in under-50s up 1% per year since 2005
- Rectal cancer incidence up 1% per year (was declining before)
- Nearly half of all new diagnoses now occur in people under 65 (up from 27% in 1995)
- 20% of all diagnoses are now in people under 55 (was 11% in 1995)
The screening crisis
- Only 65% of adults 50 to 75 are up-to-date on screening
- Only 1 in 3 adults aged 45 to 49 are screened
- Screening can prevent cancer entirely by catching polyps before they become malignant
- Early detection has a 91% 5-year survival rate
- Late-stage diagnosis has a 14% 5-year survival rate
Why the gap? Younger people do not know to get screened. Doctors dismiss symptoms as hemorrhoids or IBS. By the time it is diagnosed, three in four young patients are already at advanced stage.
Colonoscopies work. Early detection works. Treatment works. The problem is awareness and access.
> funding the cure
Colorectal cancer research is chronically underfunded relative to its death toll. The Colorectal Cancer Alliance funds critical research, screening programs in underserved communities, and awareness campaigns that could catch cases early.
That research costs money. Screening programs cost money. Awareness costs money.
fartcoin.fund's mission is to raise $1 million to meaningfully accelerate research and find a cure to colon cancer.
