sounds like its more about the other increasing while it stays the same or gets a bit worse:

The absolute number of colon cancer deaths in working-age people under 50 is still relatively small, with the American Cancer Society estimates suggesting around 3,750 people under 50 died from colon cancer in 2023. But unlike those four other leading causes of cancer death, where Siegel said there's "great news" to report, the trend lines with young colon cancer are going in the wrong direction.
