Prevalence and Incidence of Colorectal cancer


advertisement

About prevalence and incidence statistics: The term 'prevalence' of Colorectal cancer usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Colorectal cancer at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Colorectal cancer refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Colorectal cancer diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics.

Incidence (annual) of Colorectal cancer: 148,300 annual cases = 107,300 annual cases of colon cancer and 41,000 annual cases of rectum cancer(SEER 2002 estimate)
Incidence Rate: approx 1 in 1,834 or 0.05% or 148,300 people in USA [about data]
Lifetime risk for Colorectal cancer: 1 in 26 women and 1 in 17 men will develop colorectal cancer during their lifetime in Australia 2000 (AIHW and AACR, AIHW National Mortality Database, Australia’s Health 2004, AIHW)
