Abstract
Objective
Early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasing in the USA despite rapid declines in older ages. Similar patterns are reported in Australia and Canada, but a comprehensive global analysis of contemporary data is lacking.
Design

Results
During 2008-2012, age-standardised CRC incidence rates in adults
