1. Introduction Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in both men and women in the United States (U.S.) [1,2,3]. CRC ranks as the second most common cause of cancer-associated deaths among men aged 20 to 39 years and is the leading cause of cancer deaths in men under 50 [4]. The incidence of CRC increases significantly with age, rising from 33.1 per 100,000 among individuals aged 45–49 to nearly double that by ages 60–64 [4].
