ABSTRACT
Objective: To demonstrate the disease burden and epidemiological characteristics of colorectal cancer in different regions by analyzing the incidence and mortality data in China and worldwide in 2020. Methods: Estimation of the incidence and mortality data of colorectal cancer were obtained from the GLOBOCAN 2020 database. The incidence, death, age standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age standardized mortality rate (ASMR) of colorectal cancer in China and 20 regions in the world were compared. The correlation between the Human Development Index (HDI) and ASIR/ASMR was analyzed. Results: In 2020, the number of new cases of colorectal cancer in the world reached 1 931 600, and the number of deaths reached 935 200. The incidence and mortality in all regions of the world continued to rise in the age group above 50 years old. The morbidity and mortality in male were higher than those in female. East Asia ranked the highest number of incidence cases and deaths in the world, which were 740 000 and 360 100 respectively. There were significant differences in incidence and mortality among regions in the world. The highest ASIR and ASMR were observed in Northern Europe (33.61/100 000) and Eastern Europe (14.53/100 000), whereas the lowest ASIR and ASMR were both observed in South-Central Asia (5.46/100 000 and 3.16/100 000). HDI had significant exponential relationship with ASIR (r(2)=0.59, P<0.001) and ASMR (r(2)=0.38, P<0.001). There were 555 500 new cases and 286 200 death cases of colorectal cancer in China, accounting for about 30% of the world and more than 75% of East Asia. The ASIR of China was 24.07/100 000, ranking at the medium level, while the ASMR was 12.07/100 000, ranking at the high level of world. Conclusion: The incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer are highly correlated with HDI. China is one of the countries with the heaviest disease burden of colorectal cancer in the world.

El cáncer de piel es el más frecuente de todos los tipos de cáncer del ser humano, por lo cual el conocimiento y diagnóstico correcto de la patología oncocutánea, así como la formación impartida a los especialistas de nuestra área, es de vital importancia a la hora de jerarquizar el diagnóstico temprano y lograr un adecuado tratamiento de forma oportuna. El correcto abordaje terapéutico del cáncer cutáneo y sus variantes es de primordial importancia en el manejo quirúrgico de los cirujanos plásticos, por lo cual la Comisión de Oncología Quirúrgica de tumores de piel de la Sociedad Argentina de Cirugía Plástica Estética y Reparadora (SACPER) decide realizar y difundir la siguiente encuesta anónima a los miembros de la SACPER. En esta encuesta evaluativa, se obtuvieron datos sobre el estado actual de formación de los cirujanos de nuestro país, la ejecución de las prácticas relacionadas con el abordaje, la resección o la reconstrucción posterior relacionados a dicha patología.
The knowledge and correct diagnosis of the oncocutaneous pathology, as well as the training provided to the specialists in our area, is of vital importance when prioritizing early diagnosis and achieving adequate treatment. The correct therapeutic approach to skin cancer and its variants is of paramount importance in the surgical management of plastic surgeons, for which we decided to carry out an anonymous survey of the members of the Argentine Society of Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery (SACPER). In this questionnaire, we obtained valuable information about the current state of training of surgeons in our country, the execution of practices related to the approach, resection, or subsequent reconstruction related to said pathology.
