Colon and rectum cancer is ranked third for cancer incidence and fourth for cancer death globally in 2013. Further colon and rectum cancer ranked second for incidence and mortality for developed countries and ranked fourth for both incidence and mortality for developing countries. The Global burden of cancer study showed that colon and rectal cancer was the fourth leading cause for cancer related years life lost between 1990 and 2013. The number of people diagnosed with colon and rectal cancer doubled from 1990 to 2013, most of the increase being explained by an aging and growing population.

The colon (large intestine) absorbs water and salts before the remains are passed out of the rectum as faeces and also helps to absorb remaining carbohydrates and some fats (BHIA, n.d.). Among men, a higher BMI is strongly associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer and an association between BMI and colon cancer risk is also seen in women, however, the link is weaker (NIH, 2012). In addition, people who are overweight also have a higher potential for developing gallbladder disease and gallstones which are clusters of solid material in the gallbladder made mostly of cholesterol (NIH, 2012).

There are 50,260 estimated deaths from colon and rectum cancer, ultimately making up the estimated 8.4 percent of all diagnosed cancers.
