Abstract
In their current article, Virostko and colleagues report on the distribution of adult colorectal cancer cases in the National Cancer Database from 2004 to 2015 based on age-eligibility for screening. The editorial discusses the findings, the features of the database, and uses population-based data to contextualize emerging trends in incidence and mortality and the need for research to improve outcomes in all people at risk for colorectal cancer irrespective of screening-eligibility.
