The impact of the rising colorectal cancer incidence in young adults on the optimal age to start screening: Microsimulation analysis I to inform the American Cancer Society colorectal cancer screening guideline

In 2016, the Microsimulation Screening Analysis‐Colon (MISCAN‐Colon) model was used to inform the US Preventive Services Task Force colorectal cancer (CRC) screening guidelines. In this study, 1 of 2 microsimulation analyses to inform the update of the American Cancer Society CRC screening guideline, the authors re‐evaluated the optimal screening strategies in light of the increase in CRC diagnosed in young adults.
