Key Points Question Is the incidence of colorectal cancer among younger adults still increasing in Canada? Findings This cohort study used data from comprehensive Canadian national cancer registries and included all 688 515 incident colorectal cancers diagnosed from 1969 to 2015. The incidence of colorectal cancer among younger adults increased from 2006 to 2015 among men with an annual percentage change of 3.47% and from 2010 to 2015 among women with an annual percentage change of 4.45%. Meaning These results provide evidence that the increased incidence of colorectal cancer among younger adults in Canada is continuing and possibly accelerating.
