Estimating the economic burden of colorectal cancer in China, 2019-2030: A population-level prevalence-based analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Comprehensive data on the economic burden of CRC at a population-level is critical in informing policymaking, but such data are currently limited in China.

Methods

From a societal perspective, the economic burden of CRC in 2019 was estimated, including direct medical and nonmedical expenditure, disability, and premature-death-related indirect expenditure.

Projections were conducted in different simulated scenarios. All expenditure d
