“…In summary, and in agreement with other studies, we observed an increased occurrence of right-sided tumors with increasing age [26,29,30]. We also observed a decrease of in situ tumors in our patients.…”

“…This proximal shift was observed in both sexes. In Luxembourg, proximal tumors increased as much as 14% in males and in 73.6% in females [26]. Mitry et al [35] found that right-side colon cancer rates had increased by 21.6% in males and 10.4% in females in France.…”

“…The numbers of studies addressing the in situ tumors are few. The frequency of in situ CRC tumors is reported to be 16% in Luxembourg [26]. Cress et al [16] reported the frequency of in situ tumors to be as high as 6 and 5% in US men and women, respectively.…”

“…A "left" to "right" sided or proximal shift of tumours has been reported in studies mostly from western countries [32][33][34][35] . Nevertheless, several other studies especially from Asia have shown no such shift [36][37][38][39][40][41][42] .…”

“…Temporal studies have increasingly focused on the changing proportions of left‐sided and right‐sided colon cancer incidence over time, and a rising proportion of right‐sided colon tumors is seen in most34–46 but not all47–52 such studies. Increasingly, however, the inclusion of birth cohort analyses have led to further postulations with respect to the changing prevalence of certain dietary components and nutritional correlates among successive generations as well as the specific impact of early‐stage factors and early‐in‐life experiences 41, 43, 47, 48, 53–56…”

There have been rapid increases in the incidence of colorectal cancer in Norway since the 1960s, and rates rank among the highest worldwide. The primary objectives are to describe trends in left-and right-sided colon cancer and rectal cancer by calendar period and birth cohort and to generate hypotheses as to the etiological factors in operation. Although the ageadjusted incidence rates of both colon and rectal cancer increased in Norway in both sexes up to the 1980s, subsite-and age-specific analyses reveal a deceleration in the rate of increase thereafter, apparent in the rates of both left-sided colon and rectal cancer. Overall trends in incidence of right-sided colon cancer continue to increase in both sexes. Rates in both left-and right-sided colon cancers have tended to stabilize or decrease among successive generations born after 1950, however, while incidence rates of rectal cancer appear to be increasing in recent generations. The all-ages rates are thus in keeping with the commonly reported ''left to right shift'' of colon cancer, although standardization masks important observations. The cohort patterns provide further evidence that factors earlier in life are important, and while the complex etiology makes interpretation difficult, modifications in diet, obesity and physical activity in Norway are likely among the drivers of the trends in one or more of the colorectal subsites examined. In summary, the recent downturn in the disease at younger ages provides some reason for optimism, although possible increases in rectal cancer among recent birth cohorts are of concern.The study of migrants and their swift acquisition of rates prevailing in (higher risk) countries of adoption-relative to rates in their country of origin 1-3 -has long implicated a vital role for the environment in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. This has been strengthened during the last decades via the reporting of increasing incidence among a diverse number of cancer registry populations worldwide. 4-6 Some of the most rapid and steady rises in CRC incidence over the last half-century has been observed in Norway. [7][8][9] According to global estimates by country (for 2002), incidence rates in Norwegian women now rank second worldwide, while corresponding mortality rates are 5th and 10th highest in women and men, respectively. 10 At the national level, the disease is now more common than lung cancer, with only prostate and breast cancer more frequent in males and females, respectively.Intense research activity has led to the emergence of a number of putative pathways for CRC, and an underlying complexity that may explain the inherent difficulty in isolating specific risk factors capable of explaining the descriptive epidemiology. As a means to better elucidate the underlying etiological factors, there has been an increasing interest in epidemiological analyses that stratify by the major subsites of the large bowel, with meta-and pooled-analyses of such studies suggesting differential effects of lifestyle variables across the col...
