RALEIGH, NC. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Colorectal cancer is now the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, and rates among adults under 50 continue to rise. While it’s still most common in older adults, it remains one of the deadliest, with the American Cancer Society estimating more than 55,000 deaths this year. For many patients with advanced disease, treatment still relies heavily on chemotherapy, often with tough side effects and repeat infusions.
