The Cancer Killing More Young Americans Than Any Other–and Why Screening Isn’t Catching It

Epoch Times: Fabio Cominelli, director of the NIH Cleveland Digestive Diseases Research Core Center, explained that the unexpected findings over the last few years show an increase incidence in this younger (less than 50 years old) population. The problem is compounded by the fact that no routine screening is recommended for people younger than 45. Someone who develops colon cancer at 30 without a family history would never receive preventive screening, Cominelli said.
