Colon cancer rates keep rising in younger age group, new study finds

Anna Canale of Plainview, Long Island, was shocked to receive a stage 4 colorectal cancer diagnosis at just 44 years old. 

"I would have never ever imagined that this was cancer," says the mom of three.

A new report from the American Cancer Society shows colorectal cancer is increasingly being seen in younger individuals, and cases are being detected at more advanced stages. Sixty percent of new cases are advanced-stage disease.
