Colorectal cancer mortality refers to the number of deaths caused by cancer of the colon or rectum. It is influenced by factors such as early detection, access to healthcare, advancements in treatment, and lifestyle factors like diet and exercise. When diagnosed early, treatment options are more effective, reducing the risk of death. However, if discovered late, it can be more difficult to treat successfully.
