According to the data from the Health Promotion Administration, there were 16,238 new cases of colorectal cancer in 2021, making it the 2nd most common cancer with an average of 44 new cases per day, primarily affecting people over 50 years old. To reduce the incidence and mortality rate, free colorectal cancer screening every 2 years is recommended for people aged 50-74, which can reduce the late-stage colorectal cancer incidence by 29% and the mortality rate by 35%. Regular screening and early treatment are crucial in preventing and managing colorectal cancer, emphasizing the importance of early detection through screening to improve survival rates.
