Similar to other Asian countries, a significant increase in the incidence of CRC was observed in Sri Lanka. Rate of the increase may have been artificially inflated due to better case reporting and diagnostic scrutiny. Future studies focussing on trends in tumour stage and fatality will help shed light on changing patterns in the burden of CRC in Sri Lanka.
