Incidence rate of colon cancer is low in India compared to the Western countries. The dietary habits may be the protective factor in our population. During a 32 year period (1941-1972), 555 cases of colonic cancer were recorded at the Tata Memorial Hospital, Bombay. Among the social groups utilizing this hospital, the Parsis (Zoroastrians) have the highest incidence of colonic cancer. The frequency of cancer of the caecum and sigmoid are almost equal. Cancer of splenic and hepatic flexures are predominantly seen in men. Of the resected cases 50% survived for 5 years and 40% for 10 years. When cancer was localised, the 5 year survival rate was 64%. The 5 year survival rat among transverse colon cancer patients was 70%. The skin was the commonest site of a second cancer among colon cancer patients; the possible etiological association of these two cancers appears very intriguing.
与西方国家相比，印度结肠癌的发病率较低。饮食习惯可能是我国人群中的保护因素。在32年期间（1941 - 1972年），孟买塔塔纪念医院记录了555例结肠癌病例。在利用这家医院的社会群体中，帕西人（琐罗亚斯德教徒）结肠癌的发病率最高。盲肠癌和乙状结肠癌的发病频率几乎相等。脾曲和肝曲癌主要见于男性。在切除的病例中，50%存活了5年，40%存活了10年。当癌症局限时，5年生存率为64%。横结肠癌患者的5年生存率为70%。皮肤是结肠癌患者中第二癌症最常见的部位；这两种癌症可能的病因关联似乎非常有趣。
