Abstract

The authors report trends in the incidence of colorectal carcinomas and polyps over an 18-year period (1979-1996), based on data from the Cancer Registry of the Swiss Canton of Vaud. The increase in ascending colon neoplasms is compatible with the impact of newer diagnostic techniques, which seems to have leveled off in recent years.
