Lakewood is right, however there are several other factors that may account for the decreased incidence in developing nations: lower life expectancy - colon cancer is a late in life disease poor detection - if you don't get tested, you just get sick and you don't know it is colon cancer that is making you sick poor reporting - developing nations often have health care systems that fail to report the accurate incidence of disease poor communication and lack of health care infrastructure also contribute the the statistics showing a significantly lower incidence of colon cancer. It may actually be higher than reported.
