Abstract
We present a large population-based review of colorectal cancer subtypes by analyzing national data from the past decade. Although the incidence of colorectal adenocarcinoma is decreasing in the United States, mucinous and signet-ring cell subtypes are stable and increasing, respectively. Importantly, it seems that the signet-ring cell subtype has worse outcomes, whereas survival rates for mucinous tumors are similar to adenocarcinomas.
