Colorectal cancer in the UK

You asked

I would like to know details of how many colorectal cancer cases there are each year - and how much the treatment of colorectal cancer costs.

This includes a total cases for each year from 2015 until the present day, how much treatment has cost each year and the average cost of treating each case.

We said

Thank you for your query regarding colorectal cancer registrations data.

We publish the number of cancer tumours registered (incidence) in England in each calendar year, as part of the Cancer Statistics Registrations, England (Series MB1) release, which is produced in collaboration with Public Health England. Colorectal cancer is defined using International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition (ICD-10) codes C18 to C20.

The latest available cancer incidence data for 2016 and is available in Table 1:

We do not hold any data on the cost of colorectal treatment. For this information please see the NHS improvement website:
