Unraveling colorectal cancer incidence dynamics in Hong Kong 1983–2032 through age–period–cohort Bayesian projection and decomposition analysis
Although age-standardized CRC incidence rates are declining in Hong Kong, the absolute burden is expected to remain high due to population aging. These findings highlight the combined importance of addressing demographic aging and expanding organized screening to reduce future CRC burden.
