In the Czech Republic there were diagnosed 131 769 colorectal cancers during 1985-2004. From which 7 961 cases (58 % men, 42 % women) were newly reported in 2004 including 2 801 (35,2 %) cases at the age of 35-64. From number of 85 580 died colorectal cancers during 1985-2004 died 4 556 in 2004 (57,3 % men, 42,7 % women) including 1 222 (26,8 %) at the age of 35-64. The prevalence of colorectal cancer increased between 1989 and 2005 from 14 924 to 41 061 i. e. by 175,2 % including increasing from 6 067 to 13 143 i. e. by 116,6 % at the age of 35-64. The comparison of incidence, mortality and prevalence possibles the recommendations that could slow down, considering estimated 600 thousand surviving cancer cases up to 2015 and also the unfabourable statistics of colorectal cancers. |
