Puerto Rico Statistics | Disparities in Colorectal Cancer Incidence Trends Among Hispanics Living in Puerto Rico [2000—2021]: A Comparison With Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results [SEER] Database

Description:

Although the overall incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) has been steadily decreasing in the United States, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of CRC cases among individuals younger than 50 years of age (early-onset CRC). CRC is the second and leading cause of cancer death in the United States and among Hispanic men and women living in Puerto Rico (PRH), respectively. We report the incidence rates of CRC from 2000 to 2021 among PRHs and compare them with data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and Final Results (SEER) Program.

Objective:

To analyze the incidence rates and trends of colorectal cancer (CRC) among Hispanic men and women living in Puerto Rico (PRH) from 2000 to 2021, and compare them with data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and Final Results Program (SEER), with an emphasis on the increase in early-onset CRC.
