Estimation of colorectal cancer prevalence in France

Abstract

The prevalence in France of patients with colorectal cancer was estimated using data from five population-based cancer registries. At the end of 1994, the number of cases diagnosed in France no more than 5 years before was approximately 95000, of whom 12180 had suffered metastasis and 9746 a local recurrence. This type of cancer is the most common in both men and women and these results enable the need for care or surveillance to be evaluated more accurately.
