The Taboo Keeping Young People From Life-Saving Colorectal Cancer Screenings

Colorectal cancer is now the cancer most likely to kill people under 50, yet it’s entirely preventable. Doctors say the biggest challenge is the persistent stigma and reluctance to discuss this part of the body. Younger adults in their 30s and 40s are less likely to discuss warning signs like bloody stools or changes in bowel movements, leading to delayed diagnoses — three out of four young patients are diagnosed at late stage. Survivors like Rick Rivers, diagnosed at 31, are trying to normalize conversations about cancer screening.
