Disparities in Colorectal Cancer Incidence Trends Among Hispanics Living in Puerto Rico (2000–2021): A Comparison With Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Database
A significantly higher increase in EOCRC incidence was observed among Hispanic populations. Future studies should disaggregate Hispanic subpopulations by considering the country of ancestral origin, which will help identify specific risk factors and exposures and aid in developing tailored prevention and risk stratification strategies to reduce EOCRC incidence.
