Every 3.5 minutes, someone is diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC); every 9 minutes, someone dies from CRC; and every 5 seconds, someone who should be screened for CRC is not. The 5-year mortality for people diagnosed with CRC is approximately 40%; however, survival improves substantially if the cancer is diagnosed while still localized.
