Background: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide. There is wide geographic variation in incidence with rates varying ten-fold between high- and low-income countries. This heavy burden can be mitigated given previous research has estimated that nearly half of all colorectal cancer cases could have been prevented through healthier diets and physically active lifestyles. In Canada, there is considerable geographic variation in age-adjusted incidence rates for colorectal cancer between jurisdictions, greater than that seen for many other cancers. These wide variations likely reflect differences in the prevalence of risk factors across provinces and territories. Aim: To describe the extent of the variation in colorectal cancer incidence rates across Canada and the disparities in the prevalence of modifiable risk factors across jurisdictions known to contribute to this burden. Methods: Colorectal cancer incident cases were obtained from the Canadian Cancer Registry; 2014 was used for provinces (except Quebec where 2010 was the most recent year available) and years 2012 to 2014 were combined to achieve more stable rates for the territories, which are much smaller in population. Data on four known modifiable risk factors for colorectal cancer (excess weight, physical inactivity, alcohol intake and low fruit and vegetable consumption) were obtained from the 2015-16 combined Canadian Community Health Survey. Results: Findings suggest that there is a north-south and east-west gradient in colorectal cancer modifiable risk factors in Canada. For instance, the percentage of adults with excess body weight ranged from 56.8% in British Columbia (west) to 73.1% in New Brunswick (east) and the percentage of adults not meeting physical activity guidelines ranged from 31.8% in Yukon (north) to 50.3% in New Brunswick (east). Generally, this pattern also reflects colorectal cancer incidence rates. The highest prevalence of modifiable risk factors and rates of colorectal cancer are typically in the northern (territories) and eastern provinces of Canada. Conclusion: The global burden of colorectal cancer is expected to increase by nearly 60% by 2030; therefore, targeted interventions are needed to ensure there is not a widening gap in colorectal cancer burden worldwide. Based on current knowledge, the most effective approaches to reduce the burden of colorectal cancer include: 1) adopting public policies that make healthy choices easier and create healthier environments where people live, work and play, and 2) continuing emphasis on screening and early detection. Strategic approaches to addressing modifiable risk factors, as well as mechanisms for detecting colorectal cancer before it develops, have the potential to translate into positive effects on population health and less people developing and dying from cancer.

e16084 Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) accounts for 10% of global cancer deaths yearly. It is postulated that the incidence rates are rising in developing countries like India. We present a comprehensive overview of colorectal cancer incidence in India from various regions from 2004 to 2014. Methods: We obtained data on CRC incidence from the Population Based Cancer Registries (PBCR) of the National Cancer Registry Program. We calculated age-standardized incidence rates (to WHO World Standard Population 2000) for five-year age groups for period of diagnosis (2004-05, 2006-08, 2009-11, and 2012-14). Results: From 2004 to 2014, CRC incidence rates in India increased by 20%. During 2004-2005, the incidence rate of CRC was 5.8 per 100,000 persons. It increased to 6.9 during 2012-2014. Conclusions: CRC rates are rising in India. Even though the absolute rates are low in the Indian population, the rising rates pose a problem in rising cancer morbidity in India. The rising rates can be attributed to changing lifestyles that include consumption of calorie-rich and low fibre diet, excessive use of red meat and processed foods, and physical inactivity. There is a need for cost-effective strategies to enable early diagnosis for colorectal cancer in India. Affordable and equitable treatment will help increase the 5-year survival rates of colorectal cancers. [Table: see text]
