Global burden of colorectal cancer in 2020 and 2040: incidence and mortality estimates from GLOBOCAN

OBJECTIVE: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. CONCLUSIONS: CRC is a highly frequent cancer worldwide, and largely preventable through changes in modifiable risk factors, alongside the detection and removal of precancerous lesions.

⚡ This is an original paraphrased summary — not copied from the abstract. Full paper available at the source link below.

• 1 The geographical and temporal burden of this cancer provides insights into risk factor prevalence and progress in cancer control strategies.
• 2 We examine the current and future burden of CRC in 185 countries in 2020 and 2040.
• 3 METHODS: Data on CRC cases and deaths were extracted from the GLOBOCAN database for the year 2020.

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
