Abstract:
Cancer prevalence is a crucial indicator that allows the magnitude of the problem of colorectal cancer to be monitored. Population-based cancer registries with long-standing activity are the most appropriate tools for providing prevalence data. All colorectal cases registered between 1976 and 1995 in the Côte d'Or Cancer Registry have been considered in this study. Total prevalence (20 years) was the number of patients with a previously diagnosed colorectal cancer, alive on 31 December 1995. Cumulative recurrence rates up to 5 years after diagnosis were calculated and applied to the number of prevalent cases to estimate the number of recurrences by one-year intervals up to 5 years. The overall age-standardized prevalence rate was 170.8/100000, which yielded an estimated 185857 French people alive with a history of colorectal cancer. The 5-year prevalence rates were 149.4/100000, which represented 46.4% of prevalent cases. Five-year prevalence rates regularly increased with periods of diagnosis. These results represent useful indicators for monitoring the colorectal cancer problem and for health care planning.
