Summary

Colorectal cancer incidence varies globally, with highest rates in Western countries. Descriptive epidemiology data suggest distinct causes for proximal and distal bowel cancers.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Oncology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Understanding colorectal cancer's descriptive epidemiology is crucial for etiology research and prevention.
  • Global incidence rates of colorectal cancer show significant geographical variations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an update on global descriptive epidemiological data for colorectal cancer incidence.
  • To analyze geographical variations and time trends in colorectal cancer incidence by subsite.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of descriptive epidemiological data on colorectal cancer incidence.
  • Comparison of incidence rates across different geographical areas and time periods.
  • Examination of incidence data stratified by anatomical subsite (colon vs. rectum, proximal vs. distal colon).

Main Results:

  • Colorectal cancer incidence rates varied 15- to 25-fold globally between 1988-1992, with highest rates in Western countries.
  • Geographical variations were more pronounced for colon cancer than rectal cancer.
  • Incidence is increasing in Japan and Eastern/Southern Europe, stagnating in North America/Western Europe, with a proximal shift noted in Western countries.

Conclusions:

  • Descriptive epidemiological data highlight significant global disparities in colorectal cancer incidence.
  • Distinct pathogenic mechanisms are suggested for proximal and distal bowel carcinogenesis.
  • Further research into etiological factors and targeted prevention strategies is warranted based on epidemiological patterns.
