Epidemiologic and clinical profiles of colorectal cancer in Southern Egypt
The incidence of early-onset and late-onset CRC is lower in Southern Egypt than the reported incidence from other regions of the country. Future etiologic studies should focus on investigating the socioeconomic and lifestyle factors of Southern Egypt. Clinical studies should also explore factors related to late-stage presentation and low survival in this population. The study may have global implications for the etiology and management of colorectal cancer.
