According to the latest GLOBOCAN data from 2020, colorectal cancer is the 4th most common cancer in Vietnam, with an estimated 16,426 new cases and 12,269 deaths. Stomach cancer is the 5th most common cancer, with an estimated 17,906 new cases and 14,615 deaths. Globally, colorectal cancer is the 3rd most common cancer, with an estimated 1.9 million new cases and 1.0 million deaths. Stomach cancer is the 5th most common cancer, with an estimated 1.1 million new cases and 769,000 deaths. Yes, there is a trend of younger Vietnamese people being diagnosed with colorectal and stomach cancer. A study published in 2015 found that 28% of colorectal cancer patients in Vietnam were under the age of 50. There are a number of factors that may contribute to this trend, including: - Changes in diet and lifestyle: Vietnamese people are increasingly consuming Western diets, which are high in processed foods and low in fiber. This is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. - Obesity: Obesity is another risk factor for colorectal and stomach cancer. Vietnam has one of the highest rates of obesity in Southeast Asia. - Smoking: Smoking is a major risk factor for both colorectal and stomach cancer.

12moEarly detection of colorectal and stomach cancer is essential for improving survival rates. Screening programs can help to detect cancer early, when it is most treatable. In Vietnam, there are no national screening programs for colorectal or stomach cancer. However, some private hospitals and clinics offer screening services. If you notice any changes in your bowel habits, such as blood in your stool, diarrhea, constipation, or abdominal pain, it is important to see a doctor right away.
