Individual

People must adjust their schedules to accommodate increasingly frequent medical appointments. Surgery may be required for people with more severe instances, which would include time spent preparing for and recovering from surgery.

Healthcare system

Colorectal cancer treatment includes a great amount of preventative measures and monitoring. Polyps in the colon aren't always malignant. Regular colonoscopies can help prevent cancer from occurring, which would eventually cost the healthcare system more time and money.

Diseases of the anus rectum and intestines cost $841,004,713 per year in Canada, according to a custom EBIC study. (Custom report on the economic impact of disease in Canada, 2022)

Fundraiser and public awareness campaign on the dangers and consequences of colon cancer such as The Colon Cancer Foundation (CCF)

Employment

Reduced productivity may have a financial impact on some employers' businesses.

The experiences of 250 colorectal cancer survivors returning to work are described in this article. The majority of survivors (80%) were working when they were diagnosed, and 89 percent of them returned to work. 5 years after diagnosis, 81 percent of individuals who returned to work kept their jobs.

Economy

Hospitalization accounted for 65 percent and 61 percent of the total expenses of colon and rectal cancers across their lifetimes, respectively.

To achieve best cost reductions, the findings underscore the need of completing preoperative diagnostics and staging in an ambulatory care setting, when available. Similarly, final care may be more effectively given in the home or in palliative care institutions.

The average lifetime cost of treating patients with colorectal cancer in Canadian dollars varied from $20,319 for TNM stage I colon cancer to $39,182 for stage III rectal cancer.
