Introduction:The United States Preventive Services Taskforce lowered the recommended starting age for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in average-risk adults from 50 to 45 years due to a rapid increase in young CRC incidence and overall favorable benefit-to-burden ratio in the US. This recommendation has not been widely adopted by other countries partially because the burden of young CRC in these countries is unclear compared to the United States.
