Abstract:
[Purpose]To analyze global epidemic status of colorectal cancer and explore the rela-tionship between the human development index(HDI)and the burden of colorectal cancer.[Methods]Based on the GLOBOCAN 2022 estimation data,the disease burden of colorectal can-cer in different regions,countries,and levels of HDI were analyzed.Spearman's rank test was used to explore the correlation between HDI and colorectal cancer disease burden.[Results]The estimated global incidence of colorectal cancer in 2022 was 1 926 425 cases(1 069 446 for male and 856 979 for female),with a age-standardized incidence rate of 18.4/105(21.9/105 for male and 15.2/105 for female),and cumulative risk of incidence of 2.10％(2.60％for male and 1.70％for female);the estimated number of deaths was 904 019(499 775 for male and 404 244 for fe-male),with a age-standardized mortality rate of 8.1/105(9.9/105 for male and 6.5/105 for female)and cumulative risk of death of 0.84％(1.00％for male and 0.65％for female).1-crude mortality rate/crude incidence rate(1-M/I)was 0.53(0.53 for male and 0.53 for female).Large disparities were in the disease burden of colorectal cancer between different regions and countries.After grouped by HDI,we found that the age-standardized incidence rates in very high,high,median,and low HDI regions were 28.6/105,18.1/105,6.7/105,and 6.4/105,and the standardized mortality rates were 10.5/105,8.3/105,3.9/105,and 4.5/105,with 1-M/I of 0.57,0.52,0.43 and 0.30,respec-tively;and the incidence and mortality rates were increasing with age.Spearman's correlation analysis showed a strong positive correlation between HDI and colorectal cancer in age-standardized incidence(r=0.84),age-standardized mortality(r=0.71)and 1-M/I(r=0.82)(all P＜0.001).[Con-clusion]The global burden of colorectal cancer remains high.There are disparities in the disease burden among countries and regions,which is positively correlated with their HDI levels,indicating that the colorectal cancer prevention and treatment strategies should be developed based on the conditions of each regions and countries accordingly.
