There was about 1.4 million new cases around the world of colorectal cancer (CRC) and almost 700 000 deaths in 2012. The distribution of CRC burden varies, with more than two- thirds of all cases and about 60% of all deaths occurring in countries with a high or very high human development index (HDI).
