Key Points

• Non-hereditary colorectal cancer survivors face an increased risk of subsequent primary cancers.
• Specifically, this group has a higher incidence of cancers, such as gastric and lung cancer, confirmed through longitudinal data.
• Observational analysis across various health records indicates that risk factors play a critical role in developing secondary cancers.
• These findings highlight the importance of ongoing monitoring for individuals previously diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
