Time trends of age-standardized rate (ASR) of colorectal cancer incidence (ICD-10: colon (C18), rectal and anal canal (C19C21) ) were compared among 18 selected cancer registries and ethnic/racial groups in Asia, Europe and USA. Data source was the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents Vol. IVVIII (years at diagnosis: 197377, 197882, 198387, 198892 and 199397, respectively). World population was used for age-standardization.
Figures 1 and 2 show time trends of ASR of colon cancer incidence for males and females. In all registries, ASRs in males shows higher than ASRs in females except black (SEER) in USA. Three registries in Japan show higher ASRs compared with other East Asian registries. As for the time trend of colon cancer incidence, the same increasing tendency is observed for males and females among the three registries (Miyagi, Nagasaki and Osaka) in Japan, Bas-Rhin males (France) and Korean immigrants in LA from the 1970s to the 1990s. While ASRs of these three registries in Japan have been increasing dramatically, the trend of those among Japanese immigrants in Hawaii and LA leveled off in 199397.

Figures 3 and 4 show time trends of ASR of rectal and anal canal cancer incidence for males and females. In all registries, ASRs in males show higher than ASRs in females. As for the time trend of rectal and anal canal cancer incidence, the plateau is observed for males and females excluding the three registries (Miyagi, Nagasaki and Osaka) in Japan and Korean immigrants in LA. ASRs of three registries for males in Japan have been increasing dramatically compared with other registries from the 1970s to the 1990s. Japanese immigrants in Hawaii and LA in males show higher ASRs compared to other registries in the USA. No remarkable difference was observed among those in females' immigrants in the USA.
