Abstract:
The increasing disease burden caused by colorectal cancer has become one of the major public health problems. This paper analyzes the global statistical data of colorectal cancer, including the morbidity, mortality and case survival, to understand the differences in its age, gender, regional and site specific distributions as well as its incidence trend. The results showed that the programs on colorectal cancer prevention and control varied with country and region. It is necessary to promote developed countries to share their experiences in colorectal cancer prevention and control with developing countries and develop and implement targeted colorectal cancer prevention and control strategies to address the more severe challenge of colorectal cancer.
