2026 Colorectal Cancer Awareness Resources

01 January, 2026

Colorectal cancer is the #2 cancer killer in Nevada by total numbers, only behind lung cancer. The latest American Cancer Society data shows that colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer deaths among men under 50, and second for women under 50.

Nevada's Central Cancer Registry keeps data on cancer cases across the state and has provided data that we've formatted into charts to help you quickly digest the information.
