Abstract
Currently, the incidence of colorectal cancer in China is increasing year by year, with more than 170,000 new cases every year and the incidence rate ranking the fourth in cancer. In epidemiology, the colorectal cancer of Chinese has three characteristics compared with Western countries: (1) high incidence of rectal cancer, accounting for 65% of colorectal cancer, which is the most common malignant tumor of digestive tract; (2) high proportion of low rectal cancer, accounting for about 50% to 70% of rectal cancer; (3) high proportion of young people (< 30 years old), about 15%. In major cities (Beijing, Shanghai, etc.), there was increased incidence of proximal colon cancer in recent years.
