“…Compared to other regions in Europe, Western Europe (including the Netherlands) has superior survival rates for CRC patients, with only slight differences in survival between countries in this region 38. It is plausible that the trends described in this study are also applicable to other West‐European countries.…”

Regarding the continuous changes in the diagnostic process and treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), it is important to evaluate long‐term trends which are relevant in giving direction for further research and innovations in cancer patient care. The aim of this study was to analyze developments in incidence, treatment and survival for patients diagnosed with CRC in the Netherlands. For this population‐based retrospective cohort study, all patients diagnosed with CRC between 1989 and 2014 in the Netherlands were identified using data of the nationwide population‐based Netherlands Cancer Registry (n = 267,765), with follow‐up until January 1, 2016. Analyses were performed for trends in incidence, mortality, stage distribution, treatment and relative survival measured from the time of diagnosis. The incidence of both colon and rectal cancer has risen. The use of postoperative chemotherapy for Stage III colon cancer increased (14–60%), as well as the use of preoperative (chemo)radiotherapy for rectal cancer (2–66%). The administration of systemic therapy and metastasectomy increased for Stage IV disease patients. The 5‐year relative survival increased significantly from 53 to 62% for colon cancer and from 51 to 65% for rectal cancer. Ongoing advancements in treatment, and also improvement in other factors in the care of CRC patients—such as diagnostics, dedicated surgery and pre‐ and postoperative care—lead to a continuous improvement in the relative survival of CRC patients. The increasing incidence of CRC favors the implementation of the screening program, of which the effects should be monitored closely.

“…However, medical care has evolved since the abovementioned trials have been performed. Over time, this has led to better outcomes for patients with colon cancer [15]. These better outcomes could be partly attributed to adjuvant chemotherapy, but also to other factors such as improved preoperative staging, surgery, pathology, and perioperative care [21e24].…”

“…Previous studies have shown that colon cancer survival significantly varies across Europe, with the lowest relative survival in Eastern Europe [15,16]. These differences in relative survival might be partly attributable to differences in patterns of care among European countries.…”
