Cause-specific survival rates are the probability of not dying from colorectal cancer within 5 years of diagnosis. Rates are based on cases diagnosed from 2012 to 2018, all
followed through 2019. Rates for American Indians/Alaska Natives are based on small case numbers, particularly for distant-stage disease.
