In this online, self-learning activity: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S., which, along with China, has the highest incidence of CRC in the world. In the U.S., the disease accounts for an annual mortality rate of over 53,000 and an incidence of over 152,000. The five-year survival rates are approximately 91% for patients with early stages of the disease and 73% for disease that has spread to adjacent lymph nodes or tissues. In contrast, 22% of people are diagnosed with metastatic disease (mCRC), in whom the five-year survival is about 15%, representing an area of ongoing clinical need. And despite recommendations of CRC screening beginning at age 45, the incidence and prevalence of the disease in patients under age 50 is increasing, as is their risk of diagnosis in later stages of the disease.
