Colorectal cancer is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality globally, making it a significant public health issue. Due to varying exposure to risk factors, screening introduction and uptake, and availability to appropriate treatment options, there is significant variance over time across various geographic regions. Indeed, socioeconomic position accounts for a significant part of the differences. Although colorectal cancer is still mostly a disease of the developed world, it is becoming more common in emerging nations. Furthermore, the worldwide burden is projected to rise owing to population expansion and aging, as well as the adoption of westernized habits and lifestyles. Colorectal cancer screening has been shown to significantly lower death rates, which have decreased in many industrialized and developing nations. Statistics on colorectal cancer incidence are necessary for developing focused measures to reduce the disease's impact. The purpose of this article is to give an overview of colorectal cancer incidence, mortality, and survival rates, as well as regional differences and historical trends.
