Global patterns and trends in colorectal cancer incidence and mortality.

OBJECTIVE The global burden of colorectal cancer (CRC) is expected to increase by 60% to more than 2.2 million new cases and 1.1 million deaths by 2030. In this study, we aim to describe the recent CRC incidence and mortality patterns and trends linking the findings to the prospects of reducing the burden through cancer prevention and care. DESIGN Estimates of sex-specific CRC incidence and m...

Colorectal Cancer Incidence and Mortality Disparities in New Mexico
