Age-adjusted (2000 US standard population) incidence (A) and mortality (B) of young-onset colorectal cancer by 10-year age group, Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 13, 1992–2013. Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality were derived from the National Cancer Institute’s SEER program during 1992–2013. SEER 13 registries include Atlanta, Connecticut, Detroit, Hawaii, Iowa, New Mexico, San Francisco-Oakland, Seattle-Puget Sound, Utah, Los Angeles, San Jose-Monterey, Rural Georgia, and Alaska Native Tumor Registry. Age-adjusted incidence and mortality (by using the 2000 US standard population) were obtained by using SEER*Stat version 8.3.2 as rates per 100,000 persons.
