N2  - This review focuses on colorectal cancer (CRC), which ranks as the third most common cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Despite its prevalence in older adults, only 1% to 4% of cases are reported among individuals aged 25 to 30 years. Risk factors for CRC include a family history of colorectal cancer, dietary habits, alcohol use, smoking, and inflammatory bowel disease. A thorough literature search was conducted across databases such as Medline, PubMed, Embase, NCBI, and Cochrane to identify relevant studies, particularly those involving patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This review evaluates the incidence, causes, and current treatment strategies for CRC. While rare in children, adolescents, and young adults, the symptoms often mirror those seen in older patients—leading to delays in diagnosis. The research highlights that surgery remains the primary treatment option, and curative outcomes are uncommon in patients who are not eligible for surgical intervention.
