Rightward shift in colorectal cancer: experience in 1101 patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Data suggest the existence of two different tumor entities in CRC between right-sided colon cancer and left-sided colon cancer. The proximal shift may be a reflection of improved screening programmes, diagnostic accuracy and population aging. Ethnicity, gender, diet, environment, and socioeconomic status contribute to CRC incidence and prevalence in different regions.
