This supplement on colorectal cancer represents the diligent efforts of about 60 investigators from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), population‐based cancer registries, academic institutions, ORC Macro, and the American Cancer Society. The articles are based mainly on cancer incidence data from population‐based cancer registries that participate in the CDC's National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) and/or the NCI's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program.
