Disability-adjusted life years and the trends of the burden of colorectal cancer: a population-based study in Shanghai, China during 2002 to 2016.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) still ranks the top in morbidity and mortality of cancers worldwide, posing a huge threat and burden to the society. We aimed to determine the age-standardized incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of CRC and explore potential changes in the temporal trends of the CRC burden in Shanghai during 2002 to 2016. ⋯ The disease burden of CRC in Shanghai remains serious, especially among men, and individuals aged >74 years. The benefits of the screening program have been partially proven by the ASRs of CRC incidence, providing important insights into better and wider application of screening programs.
