Diverging likelihood of colon and rectal cancer in Yogyakarta, Indonesia: A cross sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Colon and rectal cancer are associated with different risk factors and prognostic. However, this discrepancy has not been widely explored in the local population. This study aimed to investigate the site-specific likelihood of colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence in the Yogyakarta province, Indonesia.

Methods

This cross-sectional study analyses 1,295 CRC cases diagnosed in 2008-2019 registered in the Yogyakarta population-based cancer registry (PBCR) database. Cases were grouped into colon and rectal cancer. Log-binomial regression was used to determine the relative risk of either colon or rectal cancer across different gender, age group, and rurality of residence. The age-specific rates were calculated by age group and temporal trend for each group were analyzed usi
