Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in men and women. An estimated 153,760 new cases of colorectal cancer will occur this year, along with approximately 52,180 deaths. However, the death rate from colorectal cancer has been going down for the past 15 years, thanks to the increase in cancer screening. Early detection is the best chance for surviving colorectal cancer.
