Incidence
Carcinoma of the large bowel is the third most common cancer in the United States (after carcinoma of the lung and breast) and is second in frequency in both men and women. Approximately 120,000 new cases are diagnosed annually, accounting for about 15 per cent of all malignant tumors in both men and women. The incidence is much higher in North America, Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand than in Japan, South America, or Africa. Population groups that emigrate tend to acquire the risk characteristic of their new environment.
