Although Kuwait is considered to be among the countries with low incidence of colorectal cancer, there has been an increasing trend in age-standardized rate (ASR) of colorectal cancer among Kuwaitis since 1988.[ 39 ] The last web-published data from the International Agency for Research on Cancer regarding cancer incidence in Kuwait showed ASR (per 100,000) during the period 1998-2002 for the colon and rectum cancers to be 8.4 and 5.2, respectively.[ 40 ] Local unpublished data from the cancer registry in Kuwait has even shown further rise in ASR (per 100,000) of colon cancer to 9.2 among males and 9.5 among females.
