Temporal trends in age and stage-specific incidence of colorectal cancer in Saudi Arabia: A registry-based cohort study between 1997 and 2017
We report a marked increase in the incidence of CRC over time in Saudi Arabia, affecting men and women across all age groups and disease stages at diagnosis. Our findings underscore the need to identify underlying risk factors and to develop and implement effective prevention policies and strategies, including screening programs to facilitate early detection and treatment.
