Notes: The dashed vertical reference line (SIR 1) indicates similar risk of subsequent primary malignancies compared with the general population. The error bars indicate the 95% confidence interval of SIR. The risk increased mainly for subsequent primary cancers of the small intestine, ureter, colorectum, renal pelvis, endocrine system, and stomach (all SIRs >1), but decreased for the gallbladder, liver, myeloma, and brain, as well as lymphoma compared with the general population (all SIRs <1).
Abbreviation: SIR, standardized incidence interval.

Note: Overall risk increased mainly in the initial 5 years after primary diagnosis.

Note: A strong inverse relationship was observed between SIR and age of primary colorectal cancer diagnosis.

Abbreviation: SIR, standardized incidence interval.
Note: Overall risk for subsequent primary malignancies and sites at high cancer risk were different between women and men with prior colorectal cancer.

Abbreviation: SIR, standardized incidence interval.
Notes: An inverse relationship was indicated between overall SIR and subsites of primary diagnosis: 1.09 in right-sided colon cancer, 1 in left-sided colon cancer, and 0.93 in rectal cancer. Patients with different prior colorectal cancer subsites showed specific sites at high cancer risk.
