The incidence of early-onset (diagnosis before age 50) colorectal cancer (EOCRC) is increasing in some high-income countries. In this study, we examined the trends in EO-CRC incidence in Germany. ⋯ The incidence of EO-CRC in Germany is rising. The reasons are probably multifactorial, reflecting the changing prevalence of early life exposure to risk and protective factors.
