Don’t forget screening.

Colorectal is an interesting case as we are already at a place where, by using current screening techniques in a well targeted manner we could essentially eliminate it.

As such, different approaches, or funding, or attitudes to screening could also lead to big disparities in incidence and ultimately survival.
