Researchers noted that the late-stage cancer diagnoses may be attributed to differences in screening rates in locations and among different demographic groups. For example, incidence rates of late-stage colorectal cancer increased with age and were highest among black men and women. Late-stage colon and rectum incidence rates were highest in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Nebraska, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
